Dense breast tissue showed up on your mammogram. Your doctor mentioned it briefly, maybe handed you a pamphlet, and you left confused about what it actually means 🌸 As a medical oncologist with 25 years of experience, here's what I want you to understand immediately. What dense breast tissue means: 🌺 About 40% of women have dense breasts.

What does it mean to have dense breasts — and why does it matter? 💭 On a mammogram, both dense tissue and potential lumps appear white, which can make it harder to detect signs of cancer early.

Follow the white dot! We love this animation. Look how clearly it shows how the ability to see cancer gets harder the more dense you are. That's because dense tissue appears white on a mammogram and so does a cancerous tumour. There's a masking effect.⁠ ⁠ Thank you very much to www.densebreast-info.org for creating this animation! If you have Category C or D density, mammograms are not enough. Research shows about 40% of cancers are missed in category D and about 30% in category C. Experts recom
