Why are some people invited for more tests?

About 4 in every 100 women are asked to come back for more tests after screening. This is because something has been seen on their breast x-ray.  Most people who are called back for more tests do not have breast cancer.

If you are invited back for more tests, you will be sent more information about this. 

If you are diagnosed with a breast cancer, finding it early gives you the best chance of successful treatment.
