Breast cancer presentation varies widely between patients, some presenting with early, curative disease (Stage 0) and others with late disease. It is essential that all patients are properly staged and the appropriate treatment planned. At NCIS, we work as a multidisciplinary team – surgeons and oncologists together with radiologists and pathologists so that a diagnosis is obtained and treatment started in a timely manner. The treatment for every patient is discussed at regular weekly meetings by the whole team and the best option is chosen for each individual.
In a patient's journey through this – there are many specialists involved and part of the problem may be navigating different clinic locations. Here at NCIS, all specialists involved in breast cancer care have been housed in one convenient location (Levels 8-10 Medical Centre).
