Women invited for breast cancer screening in the UK are to be given more information about the potential harms of being tested.

 

An independent review was set up to settle a fierce debate about whether the measure did more harm than good.

 

It showed that for every life saved, three women had treatment for a cancer which would never have been fatal.

 

The information will be included on leaflets to give women an "informed choice", the government said.

 

Cancer charities said women should still take up the offer of screening.

Controversy
 
Screening has been a fixture in diagnosing breast cancer for more than two decades. Women aged between 50 and 70 are invited to have a mammogram every three years. It helps doctors catch cancer early so treatment can be given when it is more likely to save lives.
