The NSW Breast Cancer Institute (NSW BCI) is committed to ensuring that women and their families who are at risk or have a diagnosis of breast cancer receive the best advice, information, treatment and holistic care. The work of the NSW BCI is delivered through three Programs – Clinical Care, Research and Education, and is made possible by the support and generosity of the community.
In December 2003, we moved into our new Breast Centre – the first purpose-built facility in Australia to deliver onestop- shop services for breast cancer patients. Our Clinical multidisciplinary model of service delivery brings together the specialties of surgical oncology, radiology, radiation oncology, medical oncology, pathology and cytology services, counselling and lymphoedema treatment. We are also committed to the adoption of advanced technologies which improve patient care and provide platforms for future advancements in diagnosis and treatment applications. We have obtained the first second-generation Digital Mammography System in the world for implementation in our Breast Centre.
Our Research program has produced significant publications in Australia about best-practice treatment, including publications in international journals. The focus of our research is predominantly applied clinical research about breast cancer and its treatment, quality of life and epidemiological screening issues.

We are committed to the ongoing education of health professionals and consumers through our Education program. Strategies include breast cancer Public Forums satellite broadcast across Australia. In 2004, the Public Forum broadcast live from Darling Harbour, Sydney, to over 55 Australian communities. International and Australian experts from the Leura V International Breast Cancer Conference (hosted by the NSW BCI from 10–14 November) discussed important issues on the diagnosis, treatment and management of breast cancer.
