Rejected petition Reduce the age of breast screening

2,200 women in the UK are diagnosed with breast cancer aged 39 or under (4% of all cases).

If there are 4% of women being diagnosed aged 39 or under then lowering the age of breast screening from 50 down to 30 can decrease this amount and save lives.
