Breast health.
The breast is the organ most talked about and least explained. When is palpation enough? What does “dense tissue” mean? When does ultrasound help — and when does it not? We are planning a clinic that answers these questions honestly, including what additional imaging cannot do.
But I just had a mammogram.
With dense tissue it sees less — ultrasound can add to it. We'll check whether that applies to you
Does more screening mean more safety?
Not automatically. Every extra finding can be a false alarm — we'll tell you the odds beforehand
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women — and highly treatable when found early.

A clinic in which you understand what makes sense for you — and what does not:
Family history, hormonal history, previous findings, tissue density: where do you actually stand — beyond gut feeling and internet searches?
Palpation with explanation: how your tissue normally feels, what to watch for, what is harmless.
For dense tissue, unclear findings or on request — with an honest account of what ultrasound can and cannot do, false positives included.
If a finding needs clarification, we organise the next steps — centre, biopsy, appointments — so you do not have to make the calls yourself.
Who is it for?
- ·Dense breast tissue (known from a previous report)
- ·Breast cancer in the family
- ·Uncertainty about self-examination
- ·Between two screening rounds, or under 50
- ·On hormone therapy during menopause
- ·A lump that worries you — even if it is probably harmless

What you should know.
Does ultrasound replace mammography?
No. Statutory mammography screening remains the standard with the best evidence. Ultrasound is a supplement — useful in specific situations, not for everyone.
Isn't more testing always better?
No, and we say so. Every additional test also produces false positives: unnecessary worry, unnecessary biopsies. That is why the first question is whether it benefits you at all.
What does it cost?
Statutory cancer screening including palpation remains covered. Ultrasound without medical indication is a self-pay service. Prices follow at launch — always with a written cost plan beforehand.
No need to wait: many of these topics can already be discussed in our regular consultations today.
