It is a multidisciplinary unit in which all the new breast
cancer cases that arrive at our hospital are studied. Two
meetings are held weekly in order to choose the most adequate
diagnostic and therapeutic strategy in each case.
Likewise, the consultations in
different specialities are sped up. As a result, the time
spent on the study and each patients pre-operational
period of time can be completed within a week. We then plan
according to the therapeutic attitude, the surgical, chemotherapical
and radiotherapical treatment as quickly as possible.
On the other hand the participant
doctors analyse and report other breast cancer cases coming
from second opinions. This unit is also in charge of interviewing
those affected patients.
The therapeutic guideline
is periodically revised and updated. Bibliographic revisions
are presented and discussed. The unit decides and produces
research projects.
