Dense-breasted women dilemma

norman swan health report

Dense breasts are at higher risk of cancer but the dense tissue makes cancer hard to spot. What to do?

Some argue women should be told about their breast density when they have a mammogram. Others disagree.

New research about what might help reduce breast density and therefore cancer risk, has raised the debate once more.

InforMD member A/Prof Wendy Ingman discusses her latest research on the cause of increased breast density and cancer risk with Dr Norman Swan on the ABC Health Report on Radio National.

Understand your breast density and be informed of the risks and screening outcomes.
