Breast cancer screening rates in England's West Midlands rose to 70.9% among women aged 50–71 by March 2025, leading to more early detections.
Breast cancer screening attendance in the West Midlands rose to 70.9% among women aged 50 to 71 in the three years ending March 2025, up from 65.7% in 2023 and 69.2% in 2024, with 489,210 of 689,664 eligible women attending.
This led to 3,552 cancer detections—up from 2,985 the prior year—improving early treatment outcomes.
Despite progress, nearly 30% still miss screenings, with uptake ranging from 60.7% in Birmingham to 79.6% in Worcestershire.
NHS efforts include mobile units, reminder texts, and a national campaign launched in February 2024 featuring public figures and charities, which boosted online engagement.
While screening carries risks like overdiagnosis, health officials say benefits outweigh them, and women are urged to attend their three-yearly appointments.
