DEER PARK, N.Y., Oct. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- DenseBreast-info.org today announced the release of "Let's Talk About Dense Breasts," a series of three informational videos developed to help women better understand breast density and its implications on breast health.
According to JoAnn Pushkin, Executive Director of DenseBreast-info.org, "Having dense breasts is normal; in fact, approximately 40% of women of mammography age have dense breasts. However, many women do not know their personal density or understand how density can impact breast cancer screening. The "Let's Talk About Dense Breasts" video series was developed to address what breast density is, why it matters and what should be considered in light of it. As the leading educational resource on the topic, DenseBreast-info.org was uniquely situated to draw on our content and expertise of our breast imaging medical advisors to develop these educational videos. Our hope is that they lead to informed patient and health provider discussions."
