answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2024 answer text <p>The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) is aware of the growing interest in issues related to screening women with dense breast tissue in the National Health Service breast screening programme. In 2019, the UK NSC reviewed the benefit of additional screening with ultrasound after a negative mammography screening, for women with dense breasts. The Committee concluded that there was insufficient evidence to recommend additional screening at that time.</p><p>We are aware of the Breast Screening Risk Adaptive Imaging for Density trial which is investigating the use of supplementary imaging techniques for women within the standard breast screening programme who are found to have radiographically dense breast tissue. The UK NSC will review this evidence when it becomes available.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 22/01/2024 14:41:36 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/01/2024 answer text <p>The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) currently recommends that all women aged from 50 years old up to their 71st birthday are invited for breast every three years, which are the parameters used for the national breast screening programme in England. There are circumstances where some women are offered screening more regularly, or outside this age bracket, for example those known to be at very high risk of breast cancer.</p><p>A research trial, AgeX, has been looking at the effectiveness of offering some women one extra screen between the ages of 47 and 49, and one between the ages of 71 and 73. The UK NSC will review the results of this trial as soon as they are available.</p> answering member constituency Pendle answering member printed Andrew Stephenson question first answered 22/01/2024 09:43:33 answering member 4044 label Biography information for Andrew Stephenson
