Summary

Nutrition label

90% Informative

The Food and Drug Administration implemented a rule requiring mammography facilities to notify women about their breast density.

Dense breasts are composed of more fibrous, connective tissue and glandular tissue than fatty tissue.

Having dense breasts makes it harder to find breast cancer on mammograms.

Additional imaging tests such as ultrasound, MRI or contrast-enhanced mammography may be warranted.

Only 29 states plus the District of Columbia require insurance coverage for supplemental breast cancer screening.

Only three states New York , Connecticut and Illinois mandate insurance coverage with no copays.

Women should consider their tolerance for such risks relative to their desire for the benefits of additional screening, authors say.
