Your Health. Your Power. Take Charge of Breast Health Today.

Know Your Breasts. Know the Risks.

Did you know that dense breast tissue can make it harder for a mammogram to detect cancer? Dense breasts are common, and they can affect how breast cancer shows up on imaging.

What You Need to Know About Dense Breasts:

  • Up to 50% of women have dense breast tissue.
  • Dense tissue appears white on a mammogram—the same color as potential tumors.
  • This makes early detection more difficult using mammography alone.

Breast Ultrasound: A Powerful Companion to Mammography

If you have dense breasts, ask your healthcare provider if a breast ultrasound or other supplemental screening is right for you. These tools can help detect cancers that mammograms might miss.

Take Action. Spread Awareness. Save Lives.

  • Schedule your mammogram
  • Perform regular self-exams
  • Talk to your doctor about dense breasts and ultrasound screening

Let’s work together to raise awareness and empower women with the knowledge they need to take control of their breast health.

Your best defense is early detection. Don’t wait.
