The Landspítali Breast Center manages appointments for breast cancer screenings. Asymptomatic women aged 40 to 74 who have received an invitation letter can book an appointment by:

• Calling 543 9560 on weekdays from 9am to 3:30pm

• Sending an inquiry to brjostaskimun@landspitali.is

• Book an appointment on the Breast Center website

A letter containing the results will be sent electronically to Heilsuvera and Island.is within three weeks.

To receive a notification, you need to register your phone number and/or email address in Heilsuvera; additionally, on Island.is, you must indicate that you wish to receive a nudge on your phone whenever new information arrives in your inbox.

On Heilsuvera, you can view the history of your cancer screenings within your medical record.

There, you will find an overview of when you received invitations and when you last attended a screening.

There is no indication for increased monitoring in individuals taking immunosuppressive medication.

Women with a confirmed BRCA gene mutation should be monitored through a specialized program at the Landspítali Breast Center, rather than participating in general screening.

Pregnant women who are asymptomatic should not attend breast screening.

Asymptomatic women who are breastfeeding should not attend breast screening until three months after breastfeeding ends
