Who is it for?

• Women aged 40+ with NO symptoms of breast cancer   

Please visit our breast cancer symptoms page here.

Why get checked?

• Several large studies around the world show that breast cancer screening with mammograms reduces the number of deaths from breast cancer in women aged between 40-69, especially in those aged 50+.
• By detecting breast cancer at an early stage, breast screening using mammography has helped to reduce the death rate of breast cancer in women aged 50+ in the UK.

How it works?

This service requires the employee to attend a private clinic which is arranged through our customer call centre.

• A screening mammogram is an X-ray of the breast used to detect breast changes in women who have NO signs or symptoms of breast cancer.
• Our screening mammograms are double reported by two specialist consultant breast radiologists.
• If an abnormality is found it will help to reduce the time to diagnosis, ensuring any treatment that is needed can be started straight away.

Who is it for?

• Women aged 30+

*MyBreastRisk is not suitable for women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer, including women with triple negative or bilateral breast cancer, and those diagnosed under age 45.

* Breast SNP tests are based on a cohort of Caucasian European patients. Published data in August 2021 has confirmed breast SNP tests should not be used to predict risk in women of other ethnicities. Check4Cancer therefore only recommends our SNP test for Caucasian European ethnicities.

Why get checked?

• By performing this one-off DNA test an employee will be empowered to take control of their own breast cancer risk and ensure that they are having the most appropriate screening.
