What are the recommended screening guidelines for breast cancer in women aged 50-70 in the UK?

In the United Kingdom, the recommended breast cancer screening for women aged 50 to 70 years is to offer mammography as part of the NHS Breast Screening Programme. Women in this age group with no personal history of breast cancer and at moderate or high risk (but with a 30% or lower probability of being a BRCA or TP53 carrier) should receive mammographic surveillance through the population screening programme. Specifically, women aged 50 to 59 years at moderate risk or high risk (with ≤30% probability of BRCA/TP53 mutation) and women aged 60 to 69 years at moderate or high risk are offered mammography as part of the population screening programme. MRI surveillance is generally not offered to women aged 50 years and over unless they have a TP53 mutation or mammography shows a dense breast pattern. Ultrasound surveillance is not routinely offered in this age group unless MRI is unsuitable or mammography/MRI results are difficult to interpret. Women aged 70 years and over with a known BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation or a personal history of breast cancer who remain at high risk are also offered mammography as part of the screening programme.
