5-year survival for breast cancer is 98% if diagnosed at Stage 1 and 89.5% at Stage 2 (out of 4 stages). Early diagnosis through screening means treatment is less invasive and more effective. Please take up your screening invitation; it makes a major difference to outcomes.
Thousands more breast cancers could be detected earlier in England in a major new NHS drive to support more women to attend potentially life-saving breast screening. Find out more ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2025/02/nhs-l…
