Breast, cervical and bowel screening

  • Screening

    NHS cancer screening programmes can help to diagnose cancer or risk of cancer earlier and improve the likelihood of successful treatment. There are three national cancer screening programmes in England.

    NHS England: Cervical screening
    NHS England: Breast screening
    NHS England: Bowel screening

    If you are eligible, please make every effort to have your screening test. Screening tests can detect a problem early, before you have any symptoms. Finding out about a problem early can mean that treatment is more effective.

    You can find further information about the NHS England screening service at NHS: Screening and earlier diagnosis.
