Women in the Isle of Man should continue to attend breast screenings, despite the findings of a new independent study in the United Kingdom.
So says the Island's director of public health, Dr Parameswaran Kishore.
The results of the study, published in medical journal The Lancet, concluded that the lives of around 1,300 UK women are saved by breast screening each year, but three times that were overdiagnosed, resulting in them undergoing unnecessary procedures.
Dr Kishore says the report's findings will be assessed locally:
Man treated for non-life threatening injuries following Ramsey incident
Two suspects in custody following Ramsey incident
Consultation open on plans to formally recognise the heritage of Douglas Head
Police dealing with 'serious incident' in Ramsey
Drop-in session to support Isle of Man charities
