FACTS ABOUT BREAST CANCER

According to the Irish Cancer Society, breast cancer is when cells in your breast change and grow in an abnormal way.

A group of these cancer cells can then proceed to form a tumour.

Each year in Ireland, almost 3,600 women and approximately 30 men are diagnosed with breast cancer.

This form of cancer is more common in women over 50, but it can affect younger women too.

In terms of screening for breast cancer, BreastCheck is the name of the national breast screening programme.

This service offers free breast screening to women, transgender, intersex and non-binary people age 50 to 69.

It should be noted that one must be living in Ireland and have a PPS number to avail of this service.
