Breast cancer screening
external icon means checking a woman’s breasts for cancer before there are signs or symptoms of the disease.
Cervical cancer screening is used to find changes in the cells of the cervix that could lead to cancer. Screening includes cervical cytology (also called the Pap test or Pap smear), testing for human papillomavirus (HPV), or both.
Most women should have cervical cancer screening on a regular basis.
What is breast screening?
Cancer screening involves testing apparently healthy people for signs that could show that a cancer is developing.
Screening can help to find breast cancers early when they are too small to see or feel. These tiny breast cancers are usually easier to treat than larger ones.
Overall, the breast screening programme finds cancer in around 9 out of every 1,000 women having screening.
