Breast screening is able to detect changes in the breasts very early, before they can be felt or seen. This helps us to increase survival rates for women with breast cancer. We invite women for routine screening once every 3 years. Under the NHS Breast Screening Programme, eligible women will usually receive their first routine invitation for breast cancer screening between the ages of 50 and 53 and will normally be invited every three years until their 71st birthday
