Cancer Screening Programme: Motion.

 

I take Senator Feeney's point that one can have a symptomatic diagnosis. However, the success rate of treatment is much lower then. The value of screening is that, if one manages to catch people very early, small tumours can be diagnosed before a lump appears. If the cancer has got to the stage of nipple discharge the success rate is not good.
