Breast screening is often a mammogram but can also involve ultrasound, MRI scans & physical breast examinations. These screening methods are used to detect early signs of breast cancer before symptoms appear which can improve chances of successful treatment & increased survival rates.
For women aged 50 to 70, it’s generally recommended to have a mammogram every three years. However, if you have a higher risk of breast cancer due to family history or other factors, your doctor may advise more frequent screenings.
During a mammogram, your breast is placed on an x-ray machine and gently compressed to capture detailed images. The process takes about 15 minutes and is generally quick and straightforward.
In the UK, women are usually invited for their first mammogram between ages 50 and 53. However, women with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors may start screening earlier, usually in their 40s.
Breast screening is generally not painful, but some women may feel mild discomfort due to the compression of the breast during the mammogram. Any discomfort is brief, and the procedure is typically well-tolerated.
Mammograms are very effective at detecting early breast cancer, but no test is 100% accurate. Sometimes, small cancers or changes might be missed, or you may be called back for further tests if something unusual is found.
If you notice any unusual changes in your breasts, such as lumps, pain, or discharge, contact your GP immediately, even if your last screening was normal. Regular self-exams are important to complement routine screenings.
While breast screening is safe, it does involve a small dose of radiation. The benefits of early cancer detection usually outweigh the risks, but your doctor can discuss this further if you have concerns.
Yes, you can still have a mammogram if you have breast implants. You should inform the radiographer, as special techniques may be needed to ensure accurate images of the breast tissue around the implants.
In most cases, breast screening results are same day so there are no anxious long waiting times.
