Breast Cancer Screening

Mammography and clinical breast examination for early detection

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide, and early detection dramatically improves survival rates. Our breast screening programme provides mammography, breast ultrasound and clinical examination, with results reviewed by specialist radiologists and a clear next-step pathway for any findings.

Screening frequency and modality are tailored by age and risk factors; women under 40 or with dense breast tissue may benefit from ultrasound in addition to mammography for more accurate assessment.

Key Benefits

  • Mammography detects tumours before symptoms develop
  • Breast ultrasound added for dense tissue or younger women
  • Results reviewed by specialist breast radiologist
  • Clear referral pathway for any suspicious findings

  • Women aged 40+ for routine annual mammography

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have a mammogram?

Is mammography painful?

Brief breast compression is required for clear imaging — most women find it mildly uncomfortable for a few seconds per view.
