CEO Report Spring 2021

This Spring, Breast Cancer Research Centre-WA celebrates the first year since expanding our services to include Perth Breast Cancer Institute. Our exceptional growth since the establishment of BCRC-WA in 2009 now proudly brings together the expertise of seven specialist breast surgeons, two medical oncologists and two new breast physicians.

In addition, PBCI has two clinical psychologists, a genetic counsellor, a breast medical oncology fellow and specialised breast care nurses. Find out more about these services here.

We continue to be thankful for the support we receive from our patients, supporters and friends, which enable us to continue expanding our services to support women, men and families impacted by a breast cancer diagnosis.

I am impressed by the support and generosity we received at our recent ‘Our State on a Plate’ fundraising luncheon at the Pan Pacific Perth in August. Guests came to enjoy food and entertainment from Perth’s best. A special thank you to GURU Productions, Channel 9 and Pan Pacific Perth for supporting our event.

Our Breast Clinic continues to operate for the benefit of women and men who may have any queries or concerns they wish to discuss. The clinic provides a comprehensive and streamlined service for patients. Should further imaging be required, this is available on-site, followed by a review with a physician who will give prompt feedback and diagnosis. Rapid assessment is a massive relief for anybody awaiting results.

Ongoing surveillance and management of benign breast conditions such as fibroadenomas, dense breasts or cysts, to name a few, will be part of the care offered at the Breast Clinic.
