Why screening is important
- Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting Australian women. Getting older and being born female are the two biggest risk factors. Most women who develop breast cancer DO NOT have a family history of the disease.
- Breast screens (also known as mammograms) are x-rays of your breasts to check for cancer.
- A breast screen can find very small cancers – the size of a grain of rice – before they can be felt or noticed by you or your doctor.
- For women aged 50–74, a regular breast screen is the best way to find cancer early.
- Finding breast cancer early means a better chance of survival. Breast cancer treatment is most successful when the cancer is still small and has not spread to other parts of the body.
