Women who don’t turn up for their first breast screening appointment face a 40% higher long-term risk of dying from breast cancer, mainly due to delayed detection, new research reveals.
The Society of Radiographers (SoR) says male health workers should be permitted to perform breast screening examinations to help relieve ‘critical’ staff shortages.
NICE is recommending capivasertib with fulvestrant to treat women with advanced breast cancer, which means the drug will be funded immediately through the Cancer Drugs Fund.
A record number of women are up to date with their breast screening, yet almost a third of invitees did not attend last year, according to NHS figures.
The NHS in England has launched its first awareness campaign to highlight the benefits of breast screening and encourage more women to make the most of regular mammograms.
