High level review of evidence and guidelines to inform the Position Statement on the use of fine needle aspiration (FNA) and core biopsy of the breast in the BreastScreen Australia program

The use of biopsy techniques for the assessment of mammographic screening-detected lesions varies across the BreastScreen Australia program. In this context, there is uncertainty about the appropriate use and limitations of non-excisional biopsy techniques. Accurate biopsy information is essential to the BreastScreen Australia Program, as women with screen-detected lesions and their health professionals make decisions on their management options using this information.

Shared cancer follow-up and survivorship care

Follow-up care is essential following completion of active treatment for cancer to check whether the cancer has returned, discuss physical and emotional health, and monitor and manage any risk factors and side effects of treatment. Shared cancer follow-up care involves the joint participation of specialists and GPs in the planned delivery of follow-up and survivorship care for patients.
