Consultation with an oncologist-mammologist

An oncologist-mammologist is a doctor specialized in diagnostics and treatment of oncological diseases of mammary glands. During a visit a doctor will gather information about patient’s complaints, perform a check-up, and will also prescribe additional examinations to determine the degree of oncological disease and consultations by other specialists to choose the correct treatment approach.

If cancer is confirmed, every patient has the possibility to undergo a multidisciplinary oncological council where doctors of various specialties will study the patient’s case record and choose the most correct treatment approach.

What is included:

• Registration of complaints;
• Familiarization with the case record;
• Check-up;
• Work with the files of the previous examinations (X-rays, MRI);
• Determination of the preliminary diagnosis;
• Explanations on diagnostics and treatment plan;
• Recommendations on the examination and treatment.
