Description:
This leaflet is used to support the Northern Ireland breast
screening programme. It is issued by local screening centres
with a letter after a woman’s breast x-ray (mammogram)
has shown a possible abnormality in her breast. It describes
the additional tests that may be offered at a breast assessment
clinic, which is a continuation of the screening system. It
also gives contact details for breast care nurses who will
discuss any concerns or queries and gives reassuring statistics
of how four out of five women called to attend the breast assessment
clinic are given normal results after these additional tests. |
