10,000 women in West Yorkshire did not go for breast cancer screening

Health chiefs in West Yorkshire said that between April 2009 and March 2010, vialis 40mg about 10, ampoule 000 women failed to take advantage of the screening by Pennine Breast Screening Service based in Bradford, reports the Yorkshire Post.

The service which covers Bradford, Airedale, Calderdale, Dewsbury and Huddersfield invited 45,465 women for their routine breast screening appointment – of which 34,543 attended.

Breast cancer is now the most common cancer in Britain and female breast cancer incidence rates have risen by about 50 per cent during the last 25 years.

Despite several breast cancer awareness programmes and provision of free regular check ups by the NHS and other services, it seems that women are still hesitant to get themselves screened for breast cancer.
