What to Expect at the One Stop Clinic:
At the clinic, you will see the Breast Consultant and a nurse. They will ask if you have had any breast problems before and whether you have a family history of cancer. The specialist will examine your breasts and under your arm pits. They will explain which tests you need. These may include:
- mammogram – uses low-energy X-rays to identify abnormalities in the breast. This is the most important breast screening tool as it identifies early signs of breast cancer, microcalcifications and small lesions. Regular mammograms are the most effective tests for detecting breast cancer early, sometimes up to 3 years before it can be felt as lump
- breast ultrasound – uses high frequency sound waves to assess the size and shape of breast lumps and determine whether they could be tumorous growths or fluid filled cysts
- ultrasound of the lymph nodes in the armpit
- biopsy – to obtain a sample of breast tissue
