Nearly half of women over 40 have dense breast tissue, which increases their risk of cancer, yet few are informed about what this diagnosis entails.
Up until now, many patients received mammogram results indicating dense breasts but were often left confused about the implications and next steps involved.
Women with dense breasts are 4 to 5 times more likely to develop breast cancer, making understanding breast density crucial for appropriate medical response.
The FDA's new regulations aim to simplify explanations of breast density on mammograms, making the information more accessible and clear for all patients.
