We envision a world where breast density no longer hinders the early diagnosis of breast cancer. Until then, we empower women to find out their breast density.

Let’s talk dense breasts. Every breast has a different mix of breast tissue, including variations in the amounts of fatty and fibroglandular tissue. Dense breast tissue simply means there is more fibroglandular tissue.
On mammograms, dense breast tissue appears white. This can mask the detection of breast cancer, as abnormal breast changes and cancer also appear white on a mammogram.
Breast density itself is also an independent risk factor for breast cancer. This means women with dense breasts have a higher risk of developing breast cancer than women without dense breasts, and the risk increases with increasing breast density.

Breast centers & your primary care Dr. can connect you to resources that cover screening. Cost should never stop you from getting screened.
