Population Screening in the Netherlands will start a new round of breast cancer population research at the end of April in Sint Odiliënberg.
Women aged 50 to 75 who live in the postcode areas 6061, 6065 and 6077 will receive an invitation. The research is carried out in a research center in the parking lot of the Roerparel sports hall at Schaapsweg 24, 6077 CG in St. Odiliënberg.
Breast cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer in the Netherlands. About one in seven women in the Netherlands gets breast cancer. By detecting the disease at an early stage, the chance of recovery is significantly increased. As a result of the population screening, between 850 and 1075 fewer women die from breast cancer every year.
The population survey is intended for people aged 50 to 75. They receive a written invitation for the examination once every two years, which is voluntary and free and consists of taking x-rays of the breasts.
