The University Hospital is a 900 bed facility which provides tertiary care to the whole region of Flanders. Within the department of Gynaecologic Oncology, a long existing interest in breast disease led to the development of a multidisciplinary breast unit, dedicated not only to the diagnosis and treatment of malignant disease, but with a keen interest in all aspects of senology. The activity of our multidisciplinary team involves daily outpatient clinics for women who are referred by their general practitioners or who are anxious because of certain senological problems.
