UNCOVER… What May Lie Beneath…
Breast Density…
In women with the densest breasts there is a 4x increased risk compared with women with fatty breasts.
Almost 10% of women in the 50–70-year age group have extremely dense breasts. Women with dense breasts have an increased probability of their cancer being detected at a later stage at screening, or as an interval cancer (cancer detected between screening rounds), with resulting worse prognosis.
Ultimate Imaging have provided a breast density report for our patients since 2018. For those women with dense breasts, supplemental imaging may be required.
Automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) has proven to be a viable supplemental screening tool for dense breasts, offering wide accessibility, no contrast or radiation, and better tolerability for women.
ABUS is provided as a supplementary screening tool here at Ultimate Imaging.
