Dense breasts woman needs mammograms every year (NEW STUDY)
More of elder women with dense breasts need to undergo breast cancer screening with mammograms often than three years a year, new research found.
Woman with no high risk for breast cancer or dense breast tissue didn't have an increase in breast cancer deaths if they went for mammography every three years instead of two years.
Dense breast woman with high risk for these tumors, yearly mammograms were associated with fewer breast cancer deaths than screening every other year.
Researchers of this study said breast cancers are more difficult to detect in dense breasts. To know if women they have dense breasts is to get a mammogram. Annual mammography is patient's best chance for detecting breast cancer early. Dr. Kathryn Evers Director of mammography at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia said still the take home message for women is complicated.
