This Be Clear on Cancer - Breast campaign leaflet details breast cancer signs and symptoms. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in England, with around 44,300 women diagnosed each year. The older you are, the more likely you are to get it. One in three women who get breast cancer are aged 70 and over. If breast cancer is detected early, it is more treatable. This leaflet tells you how to spot the signs, how important it is to see your doctor, how breast screening is carried out and how to reduce your chances of getting breast cancer.
