Improve detection of Breast Cancer via mandatory biopsies during Ultrasound scan

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Mandatory biopsy during breast ultrasounds scans especially if a woman or man states they feel a lump on their breast. Biopsies are crucial to definitively diagnosing cancer. This can prevent invasive surgeries mastectomy), physical, mental trauma and the spread of cancer. It gives more options.

Tony Blair executed the change of rule for all breast lump cases to be seen under the 2 weeks rule pathway however we need an increased screening of breast via biopsy to save women & men breasts. Let’s remember the Covid slogan Catch it, Bin it, Kill it ! We couldn’t see Covid but we felt the symptoms didn’t we? That is the same with Breast Cancer you can’t see it but symptoms show up so let’s Catch it, Kill it and Scoop it out by having upfront biopsies whilst having an ultrasound!
