Our Tool to Help Women with Dense Breast Tissue
Offered at both our Scottsdale and La Cholla Breast Centers.
All breasts contain glands, fibrous tissue, and fat. Dense tissue is made of glands and fibrous tissue (referred to as “fibroglandular” tissue). Dense tissue blocks x-rays and therefore appears white on a mammogram. Fatty tissue allows more x-rays to penetrate and therefore shows up as black or dark gray on a mammogram. Each woman’s breasts contain a unique mix of fatty and dense tissue. Some women’s breasts are almost all fat, some have very little fat, and some are in-between. Dense breasts are normal and tend to become less dense with age and menopause.
Breast density is not determined by how a breast looks or feels. Dense breast tissue can only be identified through a mammogram. The radiologist determines the breast density by examining the images from your mammogram screening. Refer to the Mammography Result Notification Letter to learn about your breast density.
Dense breasts are “normal.” On average, about 40% of women of mammography age have dense breasts. However, because dense breast tissue can hide cancer on a mammogram, it may reduce the ability of your radiologist to find cancer if present. A “normal,” “negative,” or “benign” mammogram does not reliably exclude cancer in women with dense breasts. Women with dense breasts may have cancer detected soon after a “normal” or “negative” mammogram (this is known as an “interval cancer”). If your mammogram shows you have dense breasts, you should discuss additional screening options with your health care provider.
Prepare for Your Visit
How to Prepare
- Talk to your health care professional about any concerns you have regarding the need for the test you have scheduled, it’s risks, how it will be performed, or what the results will mean to you.
- The day of your mammogram wear a two-piece outfit so that it is easy to undress above the waist.
- Please do not wear lotion, powder, perfume or deodorant to your appointment. Wearing these items can make mammograms more difficult to read and may corrupt equipment. If you must wear deodorant, moist towelettes will be available so you can remove it before your exam.
