Mae'r profion sgrinio'r fron yn lleihau'r risg o farw o ganser y fron. Yn 2016-17, cafodd 1,185 o achosion o ganser eu canfod yn y 123,000 o fenywod a gafodd eu sgrinio. Caiff menywod yng Nghymru rhwng 50 a 70 oed eu gwahodd i gael prawf sgrinio bob tair blynedd, ac fe'u hanogir i beidio ag anwybyddu'r gwahoddiad i gael y prawf. Caiff menywod dros 70 oed gyfeirio eu hunain i gael prawf sgrinio. Mae Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru yn cynnal saith o raglenni sgrinio cenedlaethol yng Nghymru, a byddwn yn annog unrhyw un sy'n gymwys i gael prawf drwy'r rhaglenni hyn i achub ar y cyfle. Mae gwybodaeth bellach ar gael ar wefan Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cymru.
Breast screening reduces the risk of dying from breast cancer. In 2016-17, a total of 1,185 cancers were detected in the 123,000 women who were screened. Women in Wales aged between 50 and 70 are invited for breast screening every three years and are urged not to ignore their screening invitation. Women who are aged 70 years and older are able to self refer for screening. Public Health Wales runs seven national screening programmes in Wales and I would encourage anyone eligible for these programmes to take up the offer. Further information is available on the Public Health Wales website.
