Breast Cancer Screening Pilot Programme Phase II

 “The Department of Health (DH) launches Phase II of the Breast Cancer Screening Pilot Programme to provide subsidised breast cancer screening services to female Hong Kong residents aged 35 to 74 who are at high risk of developing breast cancer.”

Breast cancer screening aims to detect breast cancer early before any symptom appears, so that effective and timely treatment can be given to prevent cancer from progressing. Women at high risk of developing breast cancer are advised to receive annual breast cancer screening.
