Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the UK. One in nine women will develop breast cancer at some point in their lifetime and men can get breast cancer too: around 300 men in the UK are diagnosed every year.

But there is hope for the future. Treatment for breast cancer has seen great improvements in recent years, with more patients living longer. Much of this success is due to earlier diagnosis and improved screening.

We want to give patients the best possible chance of surviving breast cancer. That's why Southend Hospital Charitable Foundation has joined forces with Bosom Pals patient support group to buy two new digital mammography machines and associated computer equipment for the women of South Essex. 

Having the new screening equipment will allow Southend University Hospital improve cancer detection rates.
