€3m breast cancer treatment unit opens at University Hospital Limerick
The unit, which occupies the fourth floor of the Leben Building, means that for the first time women in the MidWest have a single centre for all breast outpatient needs.
Professor Niall O’Higgins, chairman of UL hospitals group and one of the country’s leading breast cancer specialists, said reform in the organisation of symptomatic services for cancer patients has been complex and difficult, but has led to eight highly specialised and effective centres.
