Most patients referred to The London Breast Clinic are done so by their Doctor as they have symptoms that requiring investigation.

If patients are concerned about their breast health it is possible to self refer for breast screening.

In common with leading breast cancer centres and international standards we advocate routine annual full field digital mammography from the age of 40, or from 35 if high risk factors and family history have been identified.

In addition to mammography we are also able to offer the newly launched BCTect, a blood based test for the early detection of breast cancer. This is a test designed as complimentary to mammography to assist with the diagnostic accuracy of patients with “dense” breasts. A sample of blood is taken and sent for analysis with the results available in 10 days. Please see the attached patient information sheet (Leaflet) about this test.

Our data shows that about 40% of new cancers seen at The London Breast Clinic are in patients under 50, the lower age level of the NHS Breast Screening Programme.

Patients in the 3 Yearly NHS Breast Screening Programme, who wish for peace of mind, can receive annual imaging since it is widely recognised that many screen detected cancers have developed during this 3 year screening interval.

If abnormalities are identified on screening then rapid and appropriate investigations are available within The London Breast Clinic.
