FAQ

When Should I Start Breast Screening?

The appropriate age and frequency of breast screening depend on each woman’s individual and family medical history. Breast screening is the most important tool for the early detection of breast conditions and should be performed according to the recommendations of your treating physician.

What Symptoms Should Lead Me to Have a Breast Examination?

Any change in the breast should be evaluated by a specialist physician. Indicative symptoms may include the appearance of a palpable lump, changes in the skin or nipple, nipple discharge, persistent pain, or any new change in the shape or texture of the breast.

Does Breast Pain Necessarily Mean Cancer?

No. In most cases, breast pain is related to benign conditions rather than malignancy. However, any persistent symptom or concern should be evaluated by a specialised physician.

What Does the First Visit to the Breast Centre Include?

The first visit includes taking a medical history, a clinical examination, and an assessment of risk factors. Depending on the patient’s age and clinical findings, imaging tests or further investigation may be recommended.

What Examinations Are Performed at the Breast Centre?

Depending on each woman’s individual needs, mammography, breast ultrasound, breast MRI, biopsies, and other specialised investigations may be performed to assist in the diagnosis and monitoring of breast conditions.

What Happens If a Suspicious Finding Is Detected?

A suspicious finding does not necessarily mean cancer. The Breast Centre team will proceed with the appropriate investigations and, if required, perform a biopsy to establish an accurate diagnosis of the finding.

Is a Breast Biopsy Painful?

Most biopsies are performed under local anaesthesia and are well tolerated by patients. The procedure is usually brief, and most women return to their daily activities on the same day or the following day.

How Quickly Are Results Available?

The time required depends on the type of examination performed. The Breast Centre works closely with the Hospital’s Histopathology Laboratory to ensure that results are evaluated and communicated as soon as possible.

If I Am Diagnosed with Breast Cancer, What Are the Next Steps?

Each case is evaluated individually. The treatment approach is planned by a multidisciplinary team that may include Breast Surgeons, Medical Oncologists, Radiologists, Histopathologists, and other specialists, with the aim of providing the best possible treatment plan for each patient.

Are Cases Reviewed by More Than One Medical Specialist?

Yes. Oncology cases are presented at the Hospital’s organised Oncology Multidisciplinary Team Meetings, where specialists from different disciplines participate and collective decisions are made regarding the most appropriate treatment plan.

What Happens After Completion of Treatment?

Follow-up care is an important part of the overall treatment journey. After completion of treatment, an individualised follow-up programme is planned, ensuring continuous monitoring and evaluation of the patient’s health.
