Breast Screening

Breast screening is a health check that looks for signs of early breast cancer. It involves taking an X-ray of the breast (mammography) to look for small changes that cannot be seen or felt by the patient. Regular screening can help detect breast cancer in its early stages, when it can be easier to treat. With early detection, the chance of survival is much higher. Breast screening is an important part of a woman’s overall health and wellbeing, and helps ensure any potential issues are identified and treated as soon as possible.
