At San Giovanni-Addolorata Hospital, we offer a dedicated, comprehensive facility, with specialized personnel devoted to managing breast cancer patients. The Breast Center is accredited at a Regional level, and received the European Certification ItalCert in May 2017, with full renewal in 2020. We aim to provide an up-to-date multidisciplinary service, with constant attention to human touch. Our patients are accompanied through all steps of breast cancer management, including diagnosis, surgery, medical oncology, radiation oncology, rehabilitation, psycho-oncology and genetic counselling. Through non-profit organizations, we promote breast cancer patients' meetings, including non-conventional topics as diet, acupuncture, homoeopathy, and a laboratory of makeup for those patients undergoing chemotherapy. Every patient is encouraged to participate in a 'Pre-Abilitation' program, a pre-operative course where all the treatment steps are discussed and detailed (this is temporarily closed according to Covid-19 restrictions). Clinical research is available, and the Unit has organized several scientific meetings in the last few years.
