Also ... it's not always a lump! Look for changes in your breast! Mammograms aren't perfect & often miss #breastcancer in #densebreasts.

Also, #lobularBC - which is about 15% of all #breastcancers - does not make lumps & is easily missed on mamms. #KnowYourDensity #KnowYourCancers #CanSky #MedSky

Women with dense breasts in #Manitoba face barriers to cancer detection. Dense tissue can hide tumours. 🧵
Alt Text: “An image showing four side-by-side mammogram illustrations labeled A, B, C, and D, representing different breast densities: • A: Fatty breast with a mostly gray background, where a white tumor is easily visible. • B: Scattered fibroglandular breast tissue with a mix of gray and white areas, making the tumor slightly less distinct. • C: Heterogeneously dense breast with more white areas, partially obscuring the tumor. • D: Extremely dense breast with a predominantly white background, where the tumor is nearly invisible due to the dense tissue. The image emphasizes the difficulty of detecting cancer in dense breasts due to the similarity in appearance between dense tissue and tumors on mammograms.”

Research Round Up 📋 Do dense breast notification laws actually get women into supplemental screening? A study of 12.5 million women has answers — and they might surprise you. Read more: https://ow.ly/mZzf50ZyjWO

Do Dense Breast Laws Increase Use of Supplemental Screening? | DenseBreast-info, Inc.
Background Screening mammography remains the cornerstone of breast cancer screening, but cancers are often masked in women with dense breasts, increasing the risk of interval cancers and delaying diagnosis. Dense breasts also increase the risk of developing breast cancer (see how breast density compares to other risk factors).  Because of these challenges, supplemental screening breast […]

🔬 Does contrast-enhanced mammography continue to detect breast cancers each time it is repeated? New data on 2,000+ women says yes — with fewer false alarms over time. Details here: https://ow.ly/25TF50ZyjtE

#DenseBreasts #KnowYourDensity
What Are the Outcomes from Continued Screening Contrast-Enhanced Mammography? | DenseBreast-info, Inc.
Standard mammography reduces breast cancer mortality but is less sensitive in women with dense breasts. Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) combines mammography with intravenous iodinated contrast. CEM thereby depicts tumor-associated blood flow and provides functional information similar to breast MRI. Most studies have evaluated CEM during an initial (prevalence) screening examination and have shown very promising results. […]
