Social Services and Public Safety (DHSSPS). This is a reprint
of Breast screening: What to expect at your second
visit,
March 2006. |
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 screening centres and
provides space for each centre to write in the telephone number
of the local breast care nurse who will discuss any concerns
or queries. The leaflet 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.
This reprint includes additional details about a Northern Ireland cancer screening website resource. |
