P098. Utility of mammography for mastalgia within a two week referral pathway: A systematic review

Abstract

Background: Breast pain affects up to 70% of women during their lifetime. The aetiology is multifactorial with less than 1% of cases, synchronous with breast malignancy. The Cancer Reform Strategy triggered the two week wait (2- WW) timeline from GP referral, for all symptomatic breast patients. Presently, up to 50%, 2-WW referrals present with breast pain only. We aim to review the current evidence for urgent referrals in a risk normative cohort of mastalgia only patients.
