The breast unit of the Hospital G. Bernabeo of Ortona was established in 1996. The unit offers a multidisciplinary approach from risk assessment to long term follow-up. The breast unit operates in collaboration with many services, and it offers high standard diagnostic and treatment procedures. Outpatient clinic activities: Breast surgical oncology; Breast plastic surgery; Medical oncology for breast cancer; Radiotherapy for breast cancer. Last year we treated nearly 605 new breast cancer cases. The waiting time between diagnosis and treatment is about 3 weeks. Two breast surgeons work in the unit and perform more than 50 surgeries per year on average. Surgery can also be offered to outpatients. The unit has a fully dedicated nurse and 8 beds. The surgical treatment for non-palpable lesions includes hook wire, and the sentinel node biopsy is performed with the radiotracer technique. Also, surgery can carry out an intra-operative response of sentinel node biopsy. The surgical team offers various services in terms of diagnostic procedure and treatment of all kind of conservative and ablative surgery. We also offer immediate or delayed breast reconstruction.
