The University Multidisciplinary Breast Clinic Antwerpen was founded in 2001. In 2007 a law was enacted to recognize breast clinics, and our Breast Clinic was one of the first to be recognized. The Breast team is a multidisciplinary team that does joint consultations every day of the week except on Saturdays and Sundays. Our goal is to see the patient within 48 hours from her acceptance in the breast clinic and have a tissue diagnosis if indicated within 5 working days. The treatment should start within 4 weeks after the diagnosis.
