Triple Assessment Breast Clinic at University Hospital Limerick

Breast service

Breast services provide multi-disciplinary care to patients with symptomatic breast disease and in particular, to women with breast cancers. Triple Assessment Clinics where patients can be seen by a surgeon, have imaging (mammogram/ultrasound) and biopsy (Fine Needle Aspiration for Cytology) at the same visit.

Triple Assessment Breast Clinic

The Triple Assessment Breast Clinic is a specialised service that evaluates breast health for patients who may have concerns, such as lumps or changes in their breasts. During your visit, you will have three key assessments: Clinical Examination: A doctor will physically check your breasts. Imaging: You will have tests like a mammogram or ultrasound to look inside the breast. Tissue Sampling: If necessary, a small sample of tissue will be taken to check for any signs of disease. This comprehensive approach helps to quickly and accurately diagnose any problems, ensuring patients receive appropriate care and support.
