It’s #WorldDenseBreastDay. What's on our wish list? 🎯
Every patient receives:
✔️Appropriate breast screening based on risk factors, including breast density,
✔️Adequate insurance coverage to receive it and find cancer at the earliest stage possible.

It's #NationalMammographyDay! Here's your reminder to schedule your annual #mammogram! As of this year, ALL women will receive letters that inform them of their density and what that means. Learn even more at https://t.co/8h14LphGPb.

Our sincerest gratitude to DBI's incomparable Patient Advisory Group! Your tireless efforts are critical to the success of our mission to educate patients about the impact of dense breast tissue on breast cancer screening and risk. @DenseBreastInfo #WorldDenseBreastDay

[DenseBreast-Info.org @DenseBreastInfo]

Expansion of DBI patient education tools was made possible with the voices and engagement of our Patient Advisory Group. Formed in 2023 and expanded in 2024, they review EVERYTHING patient-focused for your benefit. What a team! We are grateful! #WorldDenseBreastDay

40% of cancers undetected on mammo in extremely dense breasts, 25% undetected in heterogeneously dense. Other tests after mammo can improve detection. Contrast-enhanced (MRI, Contrast enhanced mammography) best; if not possible, ultrasound. #WorldDenseBreastDay @DenseBreastInfo

[DenseBreast-Info.org @DenseBreastInfo]

Mammograms are the 1st step in screening for all women. However, in women with #densebreasts, there are cancers that will not show on a mammogram. Additional tests after a mammogram may find these cancers. We have the info: https://t.co/pn0hHzK7fy

[DrWendieBerg @DrWendieBerg]

Nice article in @JBI_SBI from Drs. Angela Choe and colleagues reviewing low rates of overdiagnosis, need to reduce overtreatment and to continue breast screening as long as in good health -- always easiest to treat when caught early. https://t.co/jy4yrrmSom

FINALLY. Today, at long last, ALL patients in the U.S. will be informed if they have dense breasts after their mammogram. With deep appreciation to fellow advocates who worked tirelessly, some while sick and in treatment, to get this over the finish line. @DenseBreastInfo

"I’ve learned something new this morning, I thought dense breasts would often hide the cancer signs on a mammogram, but they can also be the cause of the cancer."@SavannahGuthrie @TODAYshow

Mammograms save lives. But for women with dense breasts, they may not be enough to spot breast cancer. 

DBI Exec Dir @JoAnnPushkin sat down with @KatzWomensHlth to discuss how to increase the chance that cancers are caught in women with dense breasts.
