Breast cancer examination in case of abnormalities
What is breast cancer?
Rapid diagnostics clinic breast cancer
What to expect during the examination?
If your general practitioner suspects breast cancer, either due to the results of a screening test or the discovery of a lump, you will usually be able to come to our Center within one week. We will schedule your appointment for the next working day at the Center for Early Diagnostics as soon as we receive the referral from your general practitioner.
You will most likely find out whether or not you have breast cancer within 2 hours on the day of your appointment.
If you notice any of the following changes in yourself, please consider consulting your doctor:
- A lump or dent in the breast
- An inverted nipple
- Eczema around the nipple
- Bloody nipple discharge
There are different types of breast cancer. The most common are:
Invasive Carcinoma NST (No Special Type)
Invasive Lobular Carcinoma
Hormone-Sensitive Breast Cancer
HER2-Positive Breast Cancer
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer
You can find extensive information about these on the website kanker.nl.
Some abnormalities are not breast cancer but can become so (precursors such as Ductal Carcinoma in Situ; DCIS or Lobular Carcinoma in situ (LCIS)).
