Breast Cancer Screening

Breast Cancer Screening

Breast screening looks for breast cancer before symptoms show. Finding breast cancer early gives you the best chance of successful treatment and survival.

Breast screening involves taking x-rays of the breast, which are called mammograms.  At least two x-rays of each breast are taken.

Breast screening tests are offered every three years, to women aged from 50 up to their 70th birthday, and who are registered with a doctor.

Taking part in breast screening when you are invited is something that you can do to look after your health.
