Breast Cancer

Breast Cancer at Fitzwilliam Hospital

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that forms in the cells of your breasts.

In the UK, breast cancer is the most common cancer with 1 in 8 UK women being diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. Survival rates for breast cancer have improved over recent years with an increased awareness of symptoms and advances in screening and treatment.

It is important to regularly check your breasts for any changes. Early diagnosis of breast cancer symptoms can significantly improve the effectiveness of your treatment.

If you are concerned that you may have breast cancer, we can provide rapid and convenient appointments with our knowledgeable and highly skilled doctors to investigate and treat breast cancer.
