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 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 be happy to 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. |
