Breast cancer screening sinks to lowest rate in 10 years The proportion of women taking up breast cancer screening has sunk to its lowest level for a decade, new NHS figures show.
Experts have warned the “extremely worrying” trend risks worsening until health chiefs improve their methods of encouraging the public to take up the potentially life-saving tests.
Under the NHS Breast Screening Programme, women normally receive their first routine invitation for screening between the ages of 50 and 53, and are thereafter invited back every three years until their 71st birthday. The Daily Telegraph
