Breast surgeons work in close collaboration with radiologists (for centering of non-palpable lesions), nuclear physicians (for the search for sentinel lymph node), pathologists (for intraoperative extemporaneous histological examinations), radiotherapists (in weekly consultation) and plastic surgeons (for breast reconstruction).
Annually, the Breast Surgery Unit performs over 350 operations, of which over 200 are for breast cancer.
