Southern Breast Oncology is committed to a sensitive and expert approach to all patients with breast problems
We have been managing breast disease and in particular breast cancer for many years and have extensive networks with dedicated practitioners in diagnosis, treatment, pathology and support. These networks extend to both the private and public sectors.
All surgeons at SBO are involved in multidisciplinary treatment teams and are also part of BreastScreen Australia. Regular meetings with our diagnostic imaging specialists ensures that patients receive expert advice and access to all relevant diagnostic techniques.
Our association with Breast Care Nurses in the public and private sectors enables patients to receive information and support as well as access to various support groups in a timely and friendly way.
Some of the reasons for referral to us include:
For patients requiring surgery or oncology therapy, the Doctors at SBO are credentialled at a number of hospitals
All surgeons at SBO contribute their surgical results to the 'Breast Surgeons of Australia and New Zealand' data audit and peer review their surgical outcomes at regular educational meetings with medical oncology, radiation oncology and radiology colleagues.
