Cancer Research UK's analysis reveals that between 2019 and 2023, nearly 90,000 cancers were detected through breast, bowel, and cervical cancer screening programmes.

This includes 62,000 cases of breast cancer, 23,000 cases of bowel cancer, and 4,400 cases of cervical cancer. However, the charity is worried about the declining participation rates for breast and cervical cancer screenings.
