Who should get screened for breast cancer?

Breast cancer screening is recommended for women aged 50 to 70, as this group has the highest risk. However, those with a family history of breast cancer or genetic predispositions may need to start screening earlier. The NHS provides mammograms, which are X-ray images of the breast, to detect any early signs of cancer. If you are concerned about your risk, speak to your GP for personalized advice. It's important to note that early detection can greatly improve treatment outcomes, making it essential for women to participate in these screenings.
