Kylie Effect leads to more cancer screenings

An interesting story on how Kylie Minogue's fight with breast cancer has piqued the willingness of women to get themselves screened for any possiblity of breast cancer.

Australian pop star Kylie Minogue was diagnosed with breast cancer in May, and quickly had a breast cancer surgery to remove the breast cancer lump.

Now a study in Australia has revealed that coverage of the singer's fight against breast cancer has caused an unprecedented increase in bookings for breast screening by women of different age groups and it is being touted as the Kylie Effect, which could help reduce deaths from breast cancer as more women get screened for the disease.
