It is safe based on all the evidence we have and the benefits outweigh the risks for patients who need breast MRIs for surveillance.

Short answer: no

Please do not listen to any wellness grifters or even healthcare professionals who recommend thermograms instead of mammograms.

Yes, we need something far more comfortable and more research dedicated to better screening tools but right now mammograms are the gold standard for breast cancer screening.

Not breastfeeding slightly increases the risk of some cancers (estrogen receptor positive), but breastfeeding also temporarily increases the risk. There needs to be a lot less shame around breastfeeding or not breastfeeding in general - please let women make the right decisions for their own bodies.

The only way to know for sure is with a biopsy IF the radiologists recommend you get one.

The Korean nationwide cohort study by Gwak et al. (2025) showed a more modest risk estimate than many prior studies. In this cohort of 952,755 women followed for 5 years, the adjusted OR for BI-RADS category D (extremely dense) vs. category A (fatty) breasts was 1.29 (95% CI 1.20–1.39), representing approximately a 29% increased risk. Other studies have shown an odds ratio of 1.8 - 2.37.

Meaning for someone with average lifetime risk of breast cancer of 12% if they have extremely dense breasts their risk may go up to 15.5 - 28.4%. Even if the older data is more accurate, they still have a 71.6% chance of NOT getting breast cancer in their lives.
