When it's relevant
A new lump, a change in the shape or skin of the breast, nipple discharge or a change in the nipple, or pain that persists.
Why it's worth a visit
Most breast changes are not cancer, but they do need to be examined, and imaging is often the only way to be sure.
How your GP can help
Your GP examines you, arranges a mammogram or ultrasound where needed, explains the results and refers you on promptly if that is required.
