Petition Action

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:

Petitions must call for a specific action that the UK Government or House of Commons is responsible for.

Decisions about patient care and diagnosis of health problems are a matter for the NHS and individual clinicians, not the Government or House of Commons. As a result it is not possible for the Government or House of Commons to take the action you have requested.
