Our Breast Care Centre multidisciplinary teams includes

- pathologists (doctors who interpret and diagnose the changes caused by disease in tissues and body fluids)
- oncologists (doctors who specialise in treating cancer), and

This team works together to make sure we see and investigate patients promptly. They also make sure that when the patient is diagnosed, they receive the highest standard of individually planned treatment and care.
When you visit our Breast Care Centre, you may have:
- your medical history taken
- your breasts examined
- a mammogram (x-ray picture of the breast) or an ultrasound (test to capturelive images from inside the bod), or both, and
- a biopsy if necessary - a sample of your tissue is taken so we can check it for disease
