Sydney Morning Herald
A significant change is coming to BreastScreen NSW services this month, with the introduction of breast density reporting. As research continues to highlight the link between breast density and an increased risk of cancer, this move aims to provide women with more comprehensive information about their breast health. Breast density, which refers to the ratio of fibroglandular tissue to fatty tissue, will now be included in screening reports, enabling women to make informed decisions about their health. This update is expected to enhance breast cancer screening and prevention efforts, particularly for those with high breast density. Key terms: breast cancer screening, breast health, breast density.
