All cases are discussed both pre- and post-operatively in multi-disciplinary case management meetings- an interdisciplinary forum including radiologists, breast surgeons, reconstructive surgeons, oncologists, radio-oncologists and pathologists. Supportive services such as breast care nurses, physiotherapy, psychological support, genetic counseling and care of advanced malignancy are available.
