The treatment of breast cancer necessarily requires a multidisciplinary approach. Several figures contribute to this goal: breast surgeons, plastic surgeons, oncologists, radiologists, radiation therapists, anesthesiologists, pathologists, nuclear physicians, physicists, geneticists, physiotherapists, dedicated nurses. To offer patients the best treatment possible, the European Community has established that, from 1st of January 2016, breast cancer treatment should only take place in specialized centres, performed by a multidisciplinary dedicated team. Following this statement and thanks to the considerable efforts of strategic management, 'I.R.C.C.S - Giovanni Paolo II Cancer Institute' in Bari opened its Breast Unit, a centre of excellence in the treatment of breast cancer. Our breast unit is efficient and follows the criteria and quality guidelines issued by EUSOMA, the European Society of Mastology.
