Did you know that about 40% of women have dense breast tissue, which can obscure cancer detection during mammograms? This “masking effect” makes early detection more difficult, delays diagnoses, and impacts treatment outcomes. In part 1 of our 4-part series on breast density for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we explore the connection between dense tissue and breast cancer, the implications of the FDA's breast density ruling, and the need for alternative screening methods like ultrasound and MRI: https://lnkd.in/gM9RzA6r

On World Dense Breast Day, Teri Thomas was featured by Onco'Zine - The International Oncology Network and walked the community through what dense breast tissue has to do with early detection and why supplemental screening is now a necessity in women's health. Spoiler alert: we must find it early, and the Find It Early Act is/was a necessary next step to close the gap between knowing you have dense breasts and being able to do something about it.
