Advice on breast cancer screening sought

Tens of thousands have accessed NHS advice on attending mammograms since the launch of the first-ever NHS breast cancer screening campaign last week. There were 32,432 visits to NHS breast screening advice pages last week (Monday 17 February – 24 February) – an increase of 145% in just a week. The NHS in England launched its first-ever awareness campaign last week to highlight the benefits of screening and encourage more women to make the most of regular mammograms, as figures showed more than four in ten (46.3%) invited for the first time don’t act on their invitation.
