dc.description	Breast screening involves taking a mammogram (x-ray) of your breasts, which is used to help find breast cancer when it is too small to see or feel. When breast cancer is found early, it is easier to treat and there is a better chance of recovery. Breast cancer occurs when normal breast cells begin to grow in an abnormal way. • Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in Ireland. • Women of any age can get breast cancer but the risk increases as you get older. • Research shows that women aged 50 and over are at a higher risk of getting breast cancer. • If breast cancer is found early, it is likely to be easier to treat.	en_US
