Breast screening saves around 1,300 lives each year in the UK.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK and treatment is most effective when found and diagnosed early. The NHS breast screening programme aims to detect breast cancer at a very early stage.
If you are aged between 50 and 70 years old and registered with a North Tyneside GP practice you will receive a routine breast screening invitation when it's your turn.
If you are concerned about changes with your breasts, do not wait for your screening appointment and seek advice from your GP straight away.
