The Breast and Endocrine Surgical Unit is an integral component of the Concord Cancer Centre, providing an advanced comprehensive treatment facility for Breast and Thyroid cancer. In addition, benign conditions of the Breast and Surgical Endocrine System (Thyroid, Parathyroid and Adrenal lesions) are treated, together with General Surgical conditions.
The Unit is closely allied with The Strathfield Breast Centre with integrated data collections and weekly Tumour Board meetings, harnessing the expertise of multiple specialties (Breast Surgery, Oncology, Radiation Oncology, Plastic Surgery, Pathology, Radiology, Genetics and Nursing) in the patient's treatment. Similarly, all significant Endocrine Pathology is discussed at regular Endocrine Multi Discipline Tumour (MDT) meetings
Patients can be referred for treatment at Concord Hospital by direct referral (by the local Doctor) to the private rooms of the surgeons or by referral to one of the public clinics. Prior to presentation at the clinic, it is recommended that all new Breast and Thyroid patients have appropriate radiology performed (Breast U/S +/- Mammogram, Thyroid U/S) and bring their new and any old films for comparison.
