BreastScreen WA’s FREE screening mammogram service is coming to Collie

More Information (97.3 Coast FM is not responsible for external websites)

Women 40 years and over with no symptoms are eligible for a FREE screening mammogram.\
 Breast cancer is the most common life threatening cancer for women and 1 in 7 women in 
Australia will develop breast cancer in their lifetime. 
Having a screening mammogram (breast x-ray) every two years significantly increases the 
chance of a woman surviving breast cancer and reduces the amount of treatment required. 
More than 75 per cent of breast cancers occur in women over the age of 50. Research shows 
that screening is most effective for this age group. 
BreastScreen WA’s Medical Director Dr Elizabeth Wylie, said screening mammography was 
the most effective method for early detection of breast cancer. 
“Screening every two years is vitally important to increase the chance of a breast cancer 
being detected when it is too small to feel or be noticed", she said. "Finding a cancer at this 
early stage often means that the breast cancer is small and more treatable”. 
“A free screening mammogram is one of the best things that women can do to look after their 
health. Breast screening saves lives and only takes 20 minutes”. 
Screening mammograms may detect 70 to 90 per cent of breast cancers.
 Any woman with a persistent change in a breast should contact her doctor immediately.
