’ÄúIt might just be the
greatest cancer risk
you’Äôve never heard of.’Äù

Five facts about dense breast tissue:
1. 40% of women have dense breast tissue.
2. Breast density is one of the strongest predictors of
the failure of mammography to detect cancer.
3. 95% of women do not know their breast density.
4. Breast density is a well-established
predictor of breast cancer risk.
5. Less than 1 in 10 women learn about their
dense breast tissue from their doctors.
Adding screening
technologies to
mammography for
women with dense
breast tissue will
increase detection
by up to 100%.
