Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Screening – For Men Aged 65+

AAA stands for Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm – a swelling of the large blood vessel (aorta) in the abdomen.

While not cancer-related, it can be a serious condition if left untreated.

🧍 Who is eligible?
Men are invited for AAA screening at age 65.

🩺 How does it work?

  • It’s a simple, one-off ultrasound scan if everything looks normal.

  • If a swelling is found, you’ll be monitored regularly.

📞 Over 65 and never been screened?

You can still arrange an appointment.
