Warning over breast cancer

Only three in 100 women can name five warning signs of breast cancer, according to new research.

The survey also found just 37% of women check their breasts regularly.

Breakthrough Breast Cancer is launching a new breast awareness guide to make sure women have a reminder of the signs and symptoms of the potentially fatal disease. It highlights the charity's Touch Look Check (TLC) awareness campaign, which advises women to look for any changes.
