Kieran Lamb"Jade Goody's high-profile battle with cervical cancer helped to dramatically reverse the downward trend in women going for screening, figures showed today.
The number of women aged 25 to 64 who underwent screening increased by 400,000 in 2008/09 from 3.2 million to 3.6 million, a report from the NHS Information Centre revealed. The overall number of women screened in the past five years rose from 78.6% in March 2008 to 78.9% in March 2009, the first time this percentage has increased since 2002. And the increase in screening was even more prominent among younger women."
