Your health in the best hands

Our team is by your side from the very first concerns about breast health. From evidencebased tests and breast cancer treatment to a variety of holistic therapies, all options for your recovery and wellbeing are available. This means exceptional care from a competent team that is there for you.

Step by step – how the process works

1. Appointment booking

Whether you are worried about symptoms, already have a diagnosis, or would like a second opinion, it is very straightforward. Simply fill out our form or contact an Affidea brustCare centre near you. If you use the form, we will contact you within 1–3 working days for a call back. We will then discuss your needs and arrange an appointment with one of our breast medicine specialists on site. Wenn Sie das Formular benutzen, kontaktieren wir Sie innerhalb von 1–3 Arbeitstagen für einen Rückruf. Wir besprechen dann Ihre Bedürfnisse und vereinbaren mit Ihnen einen Termin mit einer oder einem unserer brustmedizinischen Fachärztinnen oder Fachärzte vor Ort.

2. Examinations and further diagnostics

If symptoms need to be clarified or further tests are required for a diagnosis or treatment plan, you will receive an appointment for the relevant examinations. These may include a mammogram or ultrasound, as well as blood tests or biopsies. Results are usually available within a few days. We book your consultation at the end of your visit so you know when to return to discuss the findings.

3. Discussion of results and next steps

In a personal appointment with your specialist, you will discuss your results and what they mean. Further examinations may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis or plan the best course of action. In many cases, the findings show that everything is normal and you can go home reassured. If breast cancer is diagnosed, we are here for you and will stand by your side. Our team will create the most appropriate treatment plan for you and provide the necessary advice, care, and support to help you understand and cope with your diagnosis. Bei der Diagnose Brustkrebs sind wir für Sie da und stehen Ihnen zur Seite. Unser Team erstellt den bestgeeigneten Behandlungsplan für Sie und gibt Ihnen die nötige Beratung, Betreuung und Unterstützung, um Ihre Diagnose zu verstehen und damit umzugehen.

4. Your personal treatment plan

If breast cancer is diagnosed, we offer a complete range of cancer treatments – regardless of type or stage – all in one place, including the latest surgical techniques and medications. Our multidisciplinary team of leading specialists will promptly create a treatment plan tailored to your needs and personal wishes. We explain everything you need to prepare and organise your followup care and ongoing support. Unser multidisziplinäres Team führender Fachärztinnen und Fachärzte wird umgehend einen Behandlungsplan erstellen, der genau auf Ihre Bedürfnisse und persönlichen Wünsche abgestimmt ist. Wir erklären Ihnen alles, was Sie zur Vorbereitung und Organisation der Nachsorge und der weiteren Unterstützung benötigen.

5. Holistic support for your wellbeing

Beyond clinical necessities, we also prioritise your personal needs and quality of life. We offer a range of integrative therapies to support your treatment plan – from exercise and nutrition programmes to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and yoga.

6. Careful followup for your safety

We ensure that every patient receives a comprehensive followup plan at the end of treatment, to monitor longterm outcomes, current health, and any side effects. This helps prevent or detect recurrence at an early stage in many cases. We create this plan for you and remind you of your appointments.

FAQs

Do I need a referral or can I make an appointment directly?

You are welcome to book an appointment with us directly at any time. Simply use our request form and we will arrange a call-back to book your appointment. If you already have a breast cancer diagnosis, we will need the results of your previous tests as well as your medical history.
