NEWSDECK ANALYSIS
Breast cancer screenings on the NHS are generally only available to women over the age of 50, although those with a family history of the disease may be eligible for earlier checks. The UK's breast cancer screening programme is designed to detect cancer at an early stage, when it is more treatable, but eligibility criteria can mean some women are not automatically invited for screenings. Women under 50 with a family history of breast cancer may need to discuss their individual risk factors with their GP to determine if earlier screening is necessary.
