6:25Now PlayingBreast cancer patients suffered unnecessary mastectomies, delayed diagnoses and a lack of compassionate care at an NHS Trust in north-east England, the BBC has learned.
More than 200 cases are now being investigated at County Durham and Darlington Foundation Trust (CDDFT) - 43 of these are reported to involve significant harm. One death is also being examined.
Women have told us they were left feeling "butchered" by surgery, while a leading expert says that what went on at the trust was "a textbook example of how not to carry out breast cancer management".
CDDFT has apologised to "women and their families who have been harmed because of our substandard care", and it admits that "over many years, warning signs were repeatedly missed or not acted upon".
