As we close out Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we want to talk about something that commonly affects breast cancer screenings: dense breast tissue. Breast tissue density is determined by your breasts’ proportions of fatty and fibrograndular tissue. This is unique to each person.
The more fibrograndular tissue, the denser your breast tissue. Fibrograndular tissue shows up more opaque on mammograms and makes it harder to identify abnormalities during your regular screenings. If you have dense breast tissue, you may require supplemental screenings and a risk assessment.
