By reducing the breast screening age it will in the long run save NHS costs but most importantly save lifes. I have had friends as young as 26 been disgnosed.

This is from 2014. But breast cancer is one of the ones that is on the increase. Can it be help? Can it be picked up sooner?
The answer is yes if the the age for breast screening is reduced from 50 to 30 or even to 20.
