Have 'dense breasts'? You may need more than a mammogram. NPR interview of DBI Advisor DrWendieBerg on screening MRI or contrast mammography “….right now the onus is on women to take charge and advocate for themselves.” The Breast Cancer Research Foundation PA Breast Cancer Coalition npr.org/2025/04/21/nx-…

Great round up about #BreastHealth in award winning USA TODAY including "Everything You Need to Know About Dense Breasts" by JoAnn Pushkin futureofpersonalhealth.com/breast-health/… and "How Do I Know If I am High Risk of Breast Cancer?" from DrWendieBerg: futureofpersonalhealth.com/breast-health/…



Congratulations Fiona Gilbert and team! Randomized UK BRAID trial of supplemental screening in women with dense breasts after normal 2D MG: added invasive cancer detection rates of 15/1000 for MRI, 4.2/1000 for ABUS, and 15.7/1000 for CEM. @DenseBreastinfo thelancet.com/journals/lance…

New evidence: @NYTimes on UK research detailing add’l cancer detection rate of supplemental screening in dense breasts. “these cancers were found early enough that most were still contained within the breast,” DenseBreast-Info.org’s JoAnn Pushkin. “These were tragedies averted.”


DBI's DrWendieBerg in @NYTimes article detailing new UK research on add'l cancer detection rate of supplemental screening in #densebreasts: "Most of the tumors detected with the contrast-enhanced scans were invasive & potentially life-threatening." ‼️ 📣 nytimes.com/2025/05/23/hea…

35 states plus DC now have insurance laws requiring coverage for supplemental screening with US or MRI in women with dense breasts, but many insurance plans are exempt. In FL, only state employees are covered. #FindItEarly should be an option for all women. DenseBreast-Info.org
