Highlights • A minority of women with breast cancer experience substantial diagnostic delays.• Our findings suggest that around 1 in 6 women had symptoms other than breast lump.• On average, women experienced longer patient intervals than primary care intervals.• Women with ‘non-lump’ or ‘both lump and non-lump’ symptoms delayed seeking help.• Symptom awareness campaigns should further emphasise non-lump breast symptoms.
