We're finding small,
mammographically
occult cancers at
a significant rate
& we're able to do
that and still be
efficient.

Mammographic breast density is
a well-established and strong
predictor of breast cancer risk.

Yaghjyan et al - JNCI 2011

The addition of breast MRI or Ultrasound to mammography increases the detection of small node-negative cancers beyond that achieved with mammography alone.

— Berg, 2008

It may be the greatest risk factor you never heard of.

— Karen Ravn Los Angeles Times

Breast Density is one of the strongest, if not the strongest, predictor of the failure of mammography screening to detect cancer.

— Mandelson et al 2000

Dense breast tissue is a greater risk than having 2 first-degree relatives with breast cancer.

American Cancer Society, Relative Risks, 2012

The addition of
breast MRI
or Ultrasound to
mammography
increases the
detection of small
node-negative
cancers beyond
