The team is committed to achieve the best possible patient outcomes through the provision of patient-centred and evidence-based care that is tailored to the needs of individual patients and integrated with an innovative clinical, translational and survivorship research program. The Breast Service is actively progressing a strategic planning and service development framework to establish national and international leadership in research driven multidisciplinary clinical program for optimal patient outcomes. Our strong and diverse research program draws on the collective academic strengths of our members in collaboration with other leading Peter Mac researchers and major national and international clinical trials groups. The service provides multidisciplinary consultation and care for up to 1,000 patients each year. Patients receive care from within the disciplines of surgery, radiation oncology and medical oncology in association with specialist breast nurse coordinators, psychological services, social workers, palliative care services and specialist breast pathologists and radiologists.
