Director of BreastScreen NSW Debbie Lattimore said this new van, which was commissioned in May, has digital technology which provides doctors with clearer images faster and improves early detection.

"BreastScreen is a free breast screening service for women aged 50-74 years," Ms Lattimore said.

"Breast screening, also known as mammographic screening, is the process of looking for breast cancer in a population of women who have no symptoms. If you have a lump or nipple discharge please see your GP.

"With a 97 per cent survival rate when breast cancer is detected early, having a breast screen is vital."

NSW women have a one in nine chance of developing breast cancer in their lifetime making time for a breast screen every two years one of the most important healthy actions a woman over 50 can do.

"Regular breast screening with digital mammography equipment significantly increases the likelihood that breast cancers are found as early as possible and treated most effectively," Ms Lattimore said.

"If you are a woman aged between 50-74 years old, I strongly encourage you to book your mammogram now."
