Galway Clinic Breast Service
The Galway Clinic has been providing breast cancer services over the last six years encompassing radiology, triple assessment, surgery, chemotherapy administration and radiotherapy services. This has been done in conjunction with the symptomatic breast service at Galway University Hospital (GUH).
What is triple assessment?
Triple assessment means you will have the following:
- Clinical examination by a breast surgeon
- Have a digital mammogram and/or breast ultrasound
- Have a core biopsy or fine needle aspiration
However, not all patients who attend symptomatic breast clinic require triple assessment.
This service is delivered in accordance with the guidelines of the National Quality Assurance Standards for Symptomatic Breast Disease Services and the HIQA standards.
