If you follow the news, you’ve probably heard things about breast tissue density. And if you’re feeling a bit confused about how breast tissue density might affect you and your personal fight against breast cancer, you’re not alone. But in spite of all the chatter, the issue really isn’t as complex as it might seem. We’ll give you the bottom-line basics below.
When you have your mammogram at Larchmont Medical Imaging, the results letter we send to you will include general information about breast tissue density and the importance of discussing it with your doctor. Your doctor will receive specific information about your breast tissue density level and whether you have dense breasts or areas of density that could be of concern.
After your mammogram, you should schedule an appointment to review this information with your referring physician and ensure that your current screening regimen is right for you—because the more we learn about breast tissue density and other risk factors, the more we understand that breast cancer screening shouldn’t be “once size fits all.”
