Great review of supplemental screening in women with extremely dense breasts by Sitges, @RitseMann shows small benefit of 3D mammograms (vs. 2D), a bit more from US, and greatest benefit from contrast-enhanced methods (CEM, esp. MRI). @DenseBreastinfo

Nice review from NYU in @JBI_SBI on @LobularBCA in the breast cancer screening setting. 3D mammo better than 2D, and ultrasound, CEM and MRI all improve detection even more, with MRI superior, esp. in @DenseBreastInfo

No copay for screening MRI in most of the 31 states requiring insurance coverage. Check with your insurer and review your risk factors (esp. family history, prior biopsies) with your doctor, including dense breasts. @DenseBreastInfo

Congratulations @PBCC. Check with your insurance as 31 states plus DC now have laws requiring coverage for screening MRI. @DenseBreastInfo
👏Act 1 of 2023 is now in FULL effect 👏 The law provides no-cost: ▪️supplemental screening breast MRI ▪️supplemental screening breast ultrasound ▪️Genetic testing & counseling for those at increased risk with state-regulated insurance. Act 1 resources >>

Women at "high risk" for breast cancer should have screening MRI each year. Dense breasts are one of the risk factors to consider and also hide cancers on mammography. Learn more @DenseBreastInfo @BreastImaging @USATODAY

Great news for the women of Ontario 🇨🇦! Opt in for screening mammography at #40not50. Especially important for Black, Hispanic, Asian women where peak incidence of breast cancer is at younger age. Thank you @jenniedale24 @Anwilkinson @JeanSeely @DrPaulaGordon for all efforts!
Informative interview on Ontario's lowering the screening age to 40 with the ever insightful @Anwilkinson @OttawaMorning #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth #Yayits40not50

Cancer may still be present even with a negative, benign, or “normal” mammogram result, especially in #DenseBreasts.
ASK AN EXPERT! Does a"normal" mammogram definitely mean no cancer? Let's hear what @DrWendieBerg has to say. #WorldDenseBreastDay
