Overview
Finding breast
cancer early.
Cancer screening means testing people who appear healthy for signs that cancer could be developing.
Breast screening uses a test called mammography, which involves taking X-rays of the breasts. Screening can help to find breast cancers early, when they are too small to see or feel. These tiny breast cancers are usually easier to treat than larger ones.
BreastScreen appointments are booked through BreastScreen Victoria.

- Looks for signs of breast cancer in women who have no apparent symptoms
- Booked through BreastScreen Victoria
Diagnostic mammogram
A closer look when something needs checking.
- Used after a suspicious result on a screening mammogram
- Or when signs of breast cancer lead your doctor to check the breast tissue
