Breast Suspicions Should be Investigated Using 3 Diagnostic Tools

Petition Details

Those with dense breast tissue are being missed, misdiagnosed face delays in findings thus treatment. A 3 point system should be used at each investigation and GPs, Consultants and Radiographers should listen to patients told "It is normal"

Additional Information

Every month delayed in cancer treatment can raise risk of death by around 10%
Minimising delays to treatment could improve cancer survival rates, say researchers

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Decisions relating to how best to diagnose medical conditions such as cancer are a clinical matter for the NHS, not the UK Government or Parliament.

You could have a petition calling for the Government to commission a review of how breast cancer is diagnosed and treated by the NHS, if that is something you'd like to see happen.
