A screening mammogram can find cancers when they are as small as a pea. Without screening, cancers are more likely to be noticed or felt when they are much more advanced – at around the size of a small cherry.

The overall aim of the Cherry and Pea campaign was to encourage women aged 50-69 years to have a mammogram every two years.
