Close communication and mutual respect among specialties are required. Aims and results. The purpose of the MDM is to ensure that patients who have undergone full triple assessment receive the correct diagnosis and advice regarding its management. Cases that should be discussed are the following: • All patients who undergo needle biopsy during assessment should be discussed. • Patients in whom there is a discrepancy between the clinical findings and imaging should be discussed in order to decide whether further investigation should be undertaken.
As far as possible, the woman should be informed of the result of her examination before she leaves the clinic and of the need for any necessary further investigation to be performed. The failure of the assessment process to make a definitive diagnosis of either a benign or a malignant condition is an undesirable outcome of assessment and further increases anxiety. For this reason, the use of early recall for a repeat examination at a time shorter than that normally specified for a routine follow-up is to be avoided.
