Breast surgery

The London Breast Institute at the Princess Grace Hospital sets new standards of delivery for breast care in the independent sector. This involves demonstrable and audited excellence of the three essential components required - medical staffing, diagnostic and therapeutic equipment, and research activity.

Since being the first breast unit in the UK to install and use Full Digital Mammography, the Princess Grace Hospital has maintained its leading position in the equipment field and is regularly visited by other UK centres. Platinum levels of required standards have been set for eligibility of staff to work in the unit, as well as volume levels of unit throughout to maintain skill and expertise.

With such unparalleled levels of staff and equipment, the institute must also fulfil its logical potential to contribute to the future of breast care by carrying out properly conducted and meaningful research.

One of them most innovative treatment methods against breast cancer is the TARGIT (TARGeted Introperative radio Therapy) technique that will be available from October 2011 at The Princess Grace Hospital. The technique performed with the INTRABEAM system offers outstanding quality of life to patients and has the potential to become the new standard in breast cancer therapy. For more information please visit the London Breast Institute.

Several of the institute staff already have major international profiles, and will take their place along with chosen colleagues from Europe and the UK on the International Research Board to supervise and produce important and published work. An open-forum Annual Scientific Meeting will be held to present their progress and findings.
