Breast cancer rates are rising in the UK, now affecting one in eight women.  It is most prevalent in women over 60 but increasing numbers of younger women in their 30s and 40s are being diagnosed.
The earlier an abnormality in the breast is found, such as a lump, inflammation or thickening of the breast tissue, the easier it is to treat successfully, even if it is a benign condition.
On average, it can take 10 years before a breast tumour reaches a large enough size to be detected. Understanding the risk factors that encourage the cancer cells to grow could make all the difference.

Breast Health Questionnaire


Weight and Height


Checking your weight and height will determine Body Mass Index (BMI). This is a scoring system used by the medical profession to ascertain if someone is underweight, overweight or obese for their height. Being overweight or obese increases breast cancer risk.



Body Composition Percentage


The Body Composition Monitor is a medical device which measures the percentages of fat, water and muscle in your body.  Too much fat over muscle, or too little water in the body can all have a detrimental effect on health.  Knowing these percentages can help the nurse to give the most appropriate diet and lifestyle advice.



Personal Breast Examination Tutorial


You are shown how to perform a breast examination by practising on a synthetic model of a breast with five types of breast lumps embedded within.  By knowing what a breast lump feels like, you are more likely to discover one yourself.



Visual Inspection Video


This short video shows a woman performing a visual inspection of her breasts in a mirror which teaches the signs every woman should be looking for when performing their own examination.  For future reference, you will have exclusive access to the video clip online after your appointment.
