My name is Naren Basu. I am one of the oncoplastic and reconstructive breast surgeons working here at the Priory Hospital in Birmingham.
The one stop breast clinic is our gold standard for assessment of breast conditions. It starts with a history and examination of the individual, followed by some form of imaging.
If a woman is over the age of 40 we would offer them a combination of a mammogram and an ultrasound scan. If they are under the age of 40 it will often be an ultrasound scan. We would sometimes use a mammogram if there was a concern about breast cancer. We would also be able to offer them a biopsy or what we call a needle test to syringe some cells off. We're confident in identifying over 98% of conditions using this setting.
