Drop age of breast screening to 40. Women diagnosed younger than 50. Save lives

Petition Details

Age-specific incidence rates rise steadily from around age 30-34 and continues to reach women earlier than the current 50 breast screening age bracket. I know there are trials at 47 however I've seen too many women get diagnosed too late even in mid to late 40's, especially those born in 1970's.
