Benefits of breast screening:
• Regular screening prevents deaths from breast cancer.
• Breast screens can detect most cancers early – even before they can be felt or noticed.
• If breast cancer is found early, it is more likely to be small, and successfully treated.
• The earlier breast cancer is found, the better your chance of surviving it.
