What\u2019s the problem?<\/b><\/h3>\n

The denser your breasts, the higher your risk of developing breast cancer 22<\/sup><\/a>, AND the less likely mammography alone will detect it 28<\/sup><\/a>. For women facing higher risk due to breast density, additional screening is needed, but often not covered by insurance, leaving millions of women at risk for later stage diagnosis.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
