Abstract
Background: Mastalgia is a common breast symptom amongst patients, which often prompts referral to breast services. Despite the lack of correlation between mastalgia alone and breast cancer, patients referred to breast clinic with this symptom often report significant anxiety around their visit, due to the worry of a cancer diagnosis. This can be the case as these patients are often seen in a one-stop breast clinic alongside other women with symptoms that are more concerning for breast cancer. We developed a virtual telephone clinic (VTV) to assess patients with mastalgia, outside the one-stop rapid access breast clinic, and assessed the clinics safety and validity in managing this group of patients.
