Breast Consultation DEGUM II
What is a breast consultation?
Examinations

- Clear up suspect palpation findings or pain in the breast
- Biopsy of breast or lymph node tissue (core biopsy, fine needle aspiration)
- Genetic counseling
- Breast cancer aftercare
- Intensive breast cancer screening in women with high frequency of breast cancer in the family
Invasive procedures / Biopsy
Core biopsy, fine needle aspiration
In the case of unclear findings, which are noticed during the examination, ultrasound scan or mammography, we can usually immediately take a tissue sample in local anesthesia under ultrasound control with a thin needle, which can be studied in the lab to see if cancer cells are present. The biopsy takes about 5-10 minutes and then you can follow your everyday activities without restriction.
Discussion
Usually it takes 1-2 days to get the result of the biopsy, so you get a diagnosis in a very short time. Fortunately most biopsy result are not a cancer. But sometimes you may need another biopsy or a surgery to get a definitive diagnosis.
The care of our patients with breast cancer is based on national and international guidelines in cooperation with certified breast care centers.
