Join us for our Patient Forum today at 5pm (Shanghai time) either offline or online, where you can learn about hereditary breast cancer.

There are two genes called BRCA1 and BRCA2 which are known to give high risk of getting breast cancer. For women with a mutation in either BRCA1 or BRCA2, the risk of developing breast cancer before the age of 80 is approximately 80%.

Today we are inviting Dr Tibor Kovacs and Dr Grace Wang to discuss about the topic and the current preventative options such as breast conserving surgery, contralateral prophylactic mastectomy and the most advanced surgery techniques internationally?

We are celebrating our second anniversary! On this occasion, we would like to say a big thank you to our patients and the community for their trust and continuous support, and all the staff at Shanghai Jiahui Breast Institute 上海嘉会国际医院乳腺门诊, Jiahui Health for their dedicated hard work, and take a moment to look back at our progress and achievements during these two years.

The Jiahui Breast Institute was established on the 22nd of May 2020 as one of the flagship services of Jiahui International Hospital. The main focus was on developing user- and patient-friendly healthcare services, in a comfortable and caring environment within a dedicated area of the hospital.

Within the past two years, we have successfully achieved our goal to have a fully comprehensive breast diagnostic and treatment center. We offer a ‘one-stop’ diagnostic clinic, and family history risk assessment and genetic testing clinic, as well as breast cancer and reconstructive surgical services which provide a full range of breast reconstruction options (including implant and own-tissue-based reconstruction).

Jiahui Breast Institute has a high rate of breast conservation, comparable with Western standards, and all patients in need of a mastectomy are offered the choice of immediate reconstruction, thereby avoiding the experience of complete breast loss. Additionally, patients who have undergone a mastectomy in the past can opt for delayed breast reconstruction at any time.

Patients in need of chemotherapy or radiotherapy benefit from the excellent on-site facilities and expertise of Jiahui International Cancer Center. Cancer patients have access to all necessary support services, such as nursing care, various complementary services, and psychological support.

Additionally, within the last two years, we have also established our own Patient Support Group. It is composed of enthusiastic, helpful, and caring volunteers and former patients who offer their empathy and support to future and previous patients.

Today is JBI\x26 #39;s second anniversary.

Earlier in September, JLL has organized their annual Diversity & Inclusion week in order to promote diverse workforce and inclusive work culture. As part of the series of events, they invited one of their employees, Marion, to share her experience throughout her journey with breast cancer.
Dr. Tibor Kovacs, Chief of Breast Surgery at Jiahui Health and Marion’s treating breast surgeon was also invited to the group discussion session.

During the patient-doctor interview lots of questions were asked and answered about breast cancer itself, prevention, screening, healthy lifestyle, psychological effects, treatment options and recovery.
Marion shared the story about how she felt when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, during the different stages of treatment, and how she managed to get back to her normal life following surgery. She highlighted how important it was to keep loving herself, stay joyful and not letting cancer defining her. She also mentioned how support from her close friends, acquaintances and work colleagues helped her both, physically and mentally.

Dr. Kovacs emphasized on the importance of good and personal level of communication and building a human link between doctor and patient. “Doctors should be empathetic and try putting themselves in the patient’s shoes. Treatment should be decided together with the patient and based on mutual agreement” - he said.

The audience also had the opportunity to participate and ask questions. The group discussed about cancer in general and breast cancer in more detail. For the question about how breast cancer care works at Shanghai Jiahui Breast Institute 上海嘉会国际医院乳腺门诊, Dr. Kovacs explained that they follow the European and US model by running the patient friendly One-Stop clinic service, practicing the MDT (multi-disciplinary team) approach, and having comprehensive cancer treatment available on site, including cancer and reconstructive surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. He raised awareness of the importance of regular self-examination and 1-2 yearly specialist breast cancer screening.

At the end of the event Marion shared about her participation in cancer patient support groups and how she is trying to help other ladies who have similar problems. She said: “We are like sisters, holding hands. We know how to talk to each other, what words to use. We are in different boats but on the same journey. Remember that you are not alone.”
