Rejected petition Breast cancer prevention at 30. Access to early screening for women.

Lower the age for routine NHS breast cancer screening from 50 to 30. Provide access to earlier screening and awareness campaigns to support prevention and early diagnosis for younger women.

More details

Cases of breast cancer in women under 50 are rising. Early detection saves lives, yet younger women aren’t routinely screened until it may be too late. Offering screening from age 30 will help catch cancer earlier, improve survival rates, and reduce the emotional and financial cost to families and the NHS.
