Key Benefits of Breast Screening
**Early Detection:** A breast screen (mammogram) can identify very small cancers, often before any symptoms are noticeable or can be felt by you or your doctor. Early-stage breast cancer frequently presents without obvious symptoms.
**Improved Treatment Outcomes:** Detecting cancer at an early stage typically means more treatment options are available, leading to higher success rates and less invasive procedures.
**Reduced Risk of Death:** Regular breast screenings have been shown to lower the risk of dying from breast cancer. Since the inception of the Breast Screen Australia program, there has been a notable decrease in breast cancer-related deaths among women aged 50 to 74.
**Peace of Mind:** For approximately 95% of women, the results will be normal, offering reassurance and peace of mind.
**Free and Accessible Service:** Breast Screen Queensland provides this service free of charge to all eligible women aged 40 and over, and no doctor’s referral is necessary.
