Background
Cases of breast cancer in women under 50 are rising. Early detection saves lives, yet younger women aren’t routinely screened until it may be too late. Offering screening from age 30 will help catch cancer earlier, improve survival rates, and reduce the emotional and financial cost to families and the NHS.
