Diseases of the breast are very common and varied, from simple cysts to cancer. All doctors need to know about breast disease and in the first of a series aimed at making you an expert, Phil Herrod asks Miss Carol-Ann Courtney about how to take a history from a patient with a problem in the breast, the gold standard "triple assessment" of breast lumps and gets an overview of benign breast disease. Essential listening for all medical students and junior doctors. Sorry about the sound quality in some places, we've tried as hard as we can to correct it, but the content is so good its worth persevering!
Philip Herrod is a Speciality Registrar in the East Midlands, UK and Miss Carol-Ann Courtney is a consultant breast and oncoplastic surgeon at the Royal Derby Hospital, UK
