Importance of Annual Screening Mammograms:
-
Early Detection of Breast Cancer: Mammograms can detect breast cancer at its earliest stages, often before symptoms appear. Early detection significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and survival.
-
Improved Treatment Options: When breast cancer is detected early, treatment options are generally less aggressive and more effective. This can lead to better outcomes and a higher quality of life for patients.
-
Monitoring Changes: Annual screening mammograms provide a baseline of breast tissue that helps radiologists detect subtle changes over time. This comparison can help identify abnormalities or suspicious changes that might indicate cancer.
-
Risk Assessment: For women with a family history of breast cancer or other risk factors, annual mammograms can help assess their individual risk and guide decisions about additional screenings or preventive measures.
-
Empowerment through Awareness: Knowing one's breast health status through regular screening empowers individuals to take proactive steps towards their health, including lifestyle changes and early intervention if necessary.
What is Breast Density?
Breast density is the amount of glandular and connective tissue compared to fatty tissue in your breasts. Dense breasts can make it harder for mammograms to detect tumors.
Why Should You Know Your Breast Density?
-
Cancers can be more challenging to detect in dense breast tissue as tissue and tumors appear white on mammograms1.
-
Your doctor will be able to understand your breast density at the time of your annual mammogram.
You will receive a lay letter that contains FDA language pertaining to your tissue density type. This information is provided for you to make the best decision for your own health.
