FAQs - Benign Breast Problems

General Questions

Not all breast lumps are cancerous. Breasts can naturally feel lumpy, and a breast assessment with scans and clinical examination helps determine their nature. This is usually done in one-stop breast clinics, where patients are assessed, imaging is performed, and results are shared during the same appointment. If a biopsy is needed, it is done in the same visit. Biopsy results are typically available within five to seven working days. All patients with a biopsy or significant imaging findings are discussed in multi-disciplinary team meetings.
