Breast Cancer Consultation Service
The Breast Cancer Consultation Service is a special service offered
at the Rose Quarter Cancer
Center to provide rapid
evaluation and expert opinions in the management of newly-diagnosed
breast cancer patients. Recognizing the need to provide such patients
with in-depth and up-to-date information to make timely treatment
decisions, the team emphasizes collaborative care by a group of NCS
medical oncologists and radiation
oncologists with a special interest
in breast cancer. Coordinated by breast specialty nurse Jaci Nore,
R.N., O.C.N., patients are typically seen within only a few days
after requested by your surgeon or family physician, with prompt
feedback being provided to your referring physician. Necessary treatment
may be arranged at a facility of your choice, either at one of ten
Northwest Cancer
Specialists offices or elsewhere. The Breast Cancer
Consultation Service is intended to serve as a valuable resource
to breast cancer patients in need of reliable treatment information
or a second opinion about management.
