Breast Diseases Research Group
The Breast Diseases Research Group achieved success in obtaining principal permission in 1997 and definite permission in 1999 for research activity from central office of ACECR. The investigators involved in this group are among highly qualified specialists in the nation, working full time in the field of breast cancer research, training, diagnosis and treatment. The results of research studies have been reported in papers which were all presented at national and international seminars, scientific congresses and academic speeches. These continuous efforts have been resulted in completion of more than 45 research studies, publication of more than 10 books, 140 papers in prestigious journals and 200 papers in the form of speech or poster presentation at national and international scientific congresses.
The BCRG is made up by a cohesive group of researchers working together as a multidisciplinary team consisted of General Surgery, Radiology and Hematology/Medical Oncology to deliver high quality breast health services.
