The Combined Breast Service of The Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Royal Women's Hospital is a joint service that provides a full range of care for all types of breast disease.
Assessment of breast symptoms, diagnosis and management of breast cancer and pre-cancerous diseases is the main focus of our work. We are closely affiliated with the Familial Cancer Centre and the Breast/Ovarian Cancer risk management clinic at The Royal Melbourne Hospital. The Breast Service is actively involved in a number of research programs.
