Early Breast Cancer Checks: A New NHS Initiative?

The NHS may soon offer breast cancer checks to women in their thirties, a significant shift from the current age 50 policy.

This initiative follows a groundbreaking trial identifying women at increased risk, potentially saving many lives.

The trial, inspired by the late singer Sarah Harding, uses risk assessments and genetic testing for early detection.

Early detection is crucial, as breast cancer is a leading cause of death among women aged 35 to 50 in the UK.
