Dr Sarah Rawlings, Head of Policy at Breakthrough Breast Cancer, said:

"These positive results are encouraging and we hope that this upward trend will continue. 
 
Breast screening services are a vital part of early diagnosis and the earlier cancer is diagnosed the better the chances of successful treatment.  We strongly encourage all women to attend their screening appointments when invited."
