NAoPri guide to the breast cancer pathway

The NAoPri is committed to providing informative resources for (use with) patients newly diagnosed with primary breast cancer. To support this aim, we developed a 2-page guide to asking important questions along the breast cancer care pathway, in collaboration with our patient and charity representatives.

This guide was originally designed during the lifetime of the legacy audit the National Audit of Breast Cancer in Older Patients (NABCOP) to be useful to patients and clinicians alike.

It has now been updated to be of particular relevance to women and men of all ages diagnosed with primary breast cancer. With question prompts for patients to discuss key elements of their care and treatment with their wider breast care team, supported by their clinical nurse specialist.
