Sydney Breast Cancer FoundationSydney Breast Cancer FoundationThe Sydney Breast Cancer Institute has developed a multi-disciplinary breast cancer database that can be used for both quality assurance and research purposes. The data collection of patient information such as demographic information, basis of diagnosis, surgical management and adjuvant management allows the Institute to benchmark it practices with those published in the national and international literature.
Through funding provided by the Sydney Breast Cancer Foundation and the pharmaceutical industry the Institute has established the Translational Breast Cancer Research Fellowship. Dr Niamh Murphy, from Ireland, is the inaugural recipient of this fellowship.
The Sydney Breast Cancer Institute has an active research program and is committed to research trials that involves the latest surgical and pharmaceutical treatments for the management of breast cancer.
The Institute is involved in a number of national and international research projects covering prevention, surgical management, chemotherapy, hormonal therapy, radiotherapy, sexuality and rehabilitation.
Clinical trials [PDF, 23KB] have quite stringent entry criteria and are not always suitable for all patients. It is therefore important that the appropriate doctor and research team assess the suitability of all patients before they enter a trial.
If you would like to find out more information about the clinical trials that the Institute is running, please phone our Research Nurse on (02) 9515 7494.
