Best Practice diagnostic guidelines for patients presenting with breast cancer symptoms

Provides simple, clear guidance on the assessment of symptomatic patients. The section on assessment of breast pain may easily be misread to suggest that focal breast pain should routinely be assessed by ultrasound scanning. This investigation is not routinely recommended in patients with breast pain in the absence of focal palpable or mammographic findings.
