Management of women with breast cancer symptoms
March, 2007
Women who have symptoms of breast cancer are sometimes referred to BreastScreen
Aotearoa (BSA) by their GP, or self refer to the programme. However, this has a
number of risks, including that the breast cancer may not be detected by a
mammogram and that there will be a delay in the diagnosis of breast cancer.
