Why your density matters: For women with dense breasts, mammography alone is not enough. Mammography alone will find less than half of all breast cancers in women with dense breasts, AND it also increases the risk of developing breast cancer.  The denser the breast, the higher the risk. 

To learn how to find out your breast density, please join us for a twitter chat where Dr. Kirti Kulkarni, M.D. (@kirti_chicago), Breast Radiologist, Associate Professor of Radiology and Vice Chair for Communications, University of Chicago will discuss how to find out your breast density.
