Earlier Testing for Cervical Cancer?14 Nov 2008
Cervical cancer screening
Lyn Walker's daughter Claire died at the age of just twenty three from cervical cancer. Women in England are not tested for the disease until they reach the age of twenty five and Lyn believes that this is far too late. Sheila McClennon is joined by Professor Julietta Patnick, Director of NHS Screening Programmes and by Pamela Morton, President of the European Cervical Cancer Association, to discuss why the NHS in England waits five years longer than the rest of the UK to give women a cervical smear.
