If breast cancer is detected early, treatment is more likely to be successful and the chances of survival are higher. 

One of the best ways to detect breast cancer early is to regularly attend breast screening.  A mammogram is able to detect changes before any signs or symptoms appear, this is why it’s important to attend breast screening even if you feel fit and healthy.

Women (registered with an NHS GP) between the ages of 50-71 will be invited to attend free breast screening every 3 years.  So please, if you receive your breast screening invitation, don’t delay, attend straight away
