The van helps support early detection for the one in eight women in NSW affected by breast cancer in their lifetime.
The Cancer Institute NSW (CINSW) manages the state-wide screening program, which is delivered by the Screening and Assessment Services in Local Health Districts.
The vans attend more than 150 towns and cities across the state, and assess more than half or all regional women.
“A woman diagnosed with breast cancer in NSW today has among the highest chances of survival in the world. However, we know that early detection is the key to survival,” said Sarah McGill, CINSW Screening and Prevention Director.
“These mammograms can detect cancers before they can be seen or felt. If detected early, survival from breast cancer can be as high as 97 per cent. It is vital for all women aged between 50 and 74 to have a mammogram every two years at BreastScreen NSW. It is a free service that could save your life”, she said.
Please call 13 20 50 to book a breast screen today.
