This week's #podcast is up. Should women be warned on breast density? @CateSwannellTMR talks with patients & policymakers about whether BreastScreen Australia should notify women with dense breasts & offer more testing for those at most risk. medicalrepublic.com.au/should-women-b… #GPtwitter

Current evidence tells us that being overweight is a risk factor for breast cancer. So fat cells in the breast are bad, right? Maybe not. New research suggests it's more complicated than that. Dr Sandy Minck explains....

A big win for South Australian women today! We're the first state in Australia to report all categories of breast density to all women attending BreastScreen.
Such important information for women to know so they can make the best choices for their breast health.
9News Adelaide@9NewsAdel
South Australian women going for a mammogram will soon become the first in the nation to also be able to learn their breast density. Density can mask signs of cancer and knowing where they stand can lessen the risk of women suffering serious disease. @samanthah0gan #9News

Fantastic news for South Australians.
Great leadership and research from A/Prof Michelle Reintals
How do we roll-out to other states?

Dr Sandy Minck says that preventing stress and anxiety is not a valid reason to deny women information regarding their breast density.

#breastdensity
Increases risk of breast cancer.
Makes it harder to read mammograms - can 'hide' #breastcancer
10 News Adelaide@10NewsAdl
Medical experts are calling for breast density to be included on mammogram reports, as breast density can potentially increase the risk of breast cancer l @JessHeatley10
English
It's time for risk assessment, including measurement of #breastdensity
The Medical Republic@Medicalrepublic
Start breast screening from 40, say US guidelines, by @MariellaAttard1. There’s enough evidence to lower the age, according to the US recommendations, but Australian experts aren’t so sure. medicalrepublic.com.au/start-breast-s… ... #medtwitter #GPtwitter

It's time to give women all the information they need about their #breastcancer risk so they can make informed, shared decisions about appropriate screening that is best for them.

Breast density reporting was recently mandated in the US. However, in Australia it is only routinely reported in Western Australia and a GP who recently underwent a risk-reducing mastectomy thinks this should change. bit.ly/3M8RJsf

@annabelcrabb @BCTrialsANZ Thank you for raising awareness of breast density. Not only can it make it harder to see cancer on mammograms it is an increased risk factor for breast cancer. Only BreastScreen WA and trial sites at BreastScreen SA notify women of their #breastdensity. #densebreasts

I flunked my mammogram. What happened next will SHOCK you* 👇abc.net.au/news/2023-03-2… @BCTrialsANZ
*sorry, always wanted to write a clickbait headline. And given that I've just filed 1500 words about my own rack, this seemed like the time.

"Higher than average mammographic #breastdensity is associated with an increased risk of #breastcancer."
Can we please start measuring, recording and notifying #breastdensity in all #BreastScreen jurisdictions.

Shout out to Prof Bruce Mann @PeterMacCC @VCCCAlliance and A/Prof Carolyn Nickson @DaffodilCentre. Jam packed agenda and robust discussions at today’s #breastcancer symposium. The arguments for #tailoredscreening laid out - we have the threshold for positive change. #ROSA

Not all women can tolerate or access screening MRI, financial barriers reduce equity. Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) better tolerated, lower cost, becoming a good alternative. Ultrasound if contrast-enhanced methods not available. @BCRFcure @PBCC @DenseBreastInfo

Great public education piece with @katiecouric on @mitchellreports, #DenseBreasts can drastically compromise the effectiveness of a mammogram. Did you know cancer may be present even when a mammogram is "normal"? @DenseBreastInfo

Women with #densebreasts need supplemental screening @EUSOBIyc #screening #knowledge
➡️ Dense breasts are normal & common
➡️ Mammograms are less effective on dense breasts
