Highlights
A senologist is a specialist who brings together all the medical disciplines pertinent to the health of the breast: gynecology, general surgery, internal medicine, pathomorphology, plastic surgery, radiology, and radiation oncology [2]
Though in most countries senology does not have the status of a specialization, physicians certified as specialists in breast disease have the professional title of “senologist” [4]
Even in Germany as recently as 30 years ago, gynecologists were effectively “competing” with surgeons over the treatment of breast conditions, including cancer, and a similar situation still occurs in Poland [5]
