Centre Services

Comprehensive care through an integrated team approach

A/Prof David Gillett and A/Prof Hugh Carmalt, both of whom are breast surgery specialists, established The Strathfield Breast Centre in 1989.

The Centre centralizes the expertise of surgeons, a breast physician, radiology, pathology, radiation and medical oncology, specialist breast nurses, plastic surgery, palliative care for optimal patient care. A research and data manager supports a strong Centre commitment to research.

Weekly multidisciplinary meetings provide a forum for discussion and consensus on optimal patient management on a case-by-case basis. Teaching opportunities for junior staff are also a feature of these meetings. Monthly clinical meetings examine new innovations in the management of breast disease as well as allowing the team members to review current research projects.

We appreciate that women with a lump or an abnormal mammogram will be frightened and anxious which is why we provide rapid and accurate investigations to ensure that a diagnosis and where necessary a treatment plan is available on the day of consultation.

Multidisciplinary Cancer Care

Every year, The Strathfield Breast Centre diagnoses and treats more than 300 cases of breast cancer. We provide the most advanced, comprehensive breast cancer treatment available, making every effort to preserve the breast, which we achieve in the majority of cases. In cooperation with Strathfield Private Hospital and selected public hospitals, The Strathfield Breast Centre provides the most advanced on-site care.

Second Opinion Service

If you've been told you have breast cancer, or if you're worried about a breast lump or abnormal mammogram, you're undoubtedly anxious and perhaps confused by the increasingly complex diagnostic and treatment options available to you. The Strathfield Breast Centre can help. We'll explain your choices and assist you in making the important decisions that lie ahead.

With our Second Opinion Service (SOS) you'll be seen as an urgent consult. At the conclusion of your consultation you will have a clear idea about your treatment options and your general practitioner will receive a letter within 48 hours explaining our recommendations.
