#ThisMedLife #podcast Ep 47: Breast screening & mammograms | Future (Part 2) Second episode of our two part series: - Breast density - iPrevent from @PeterMacCC Guests -A/Prof Michelle Reintals (BreastScreen) -Prof Kelly-Anne Phillips -Dr Sandy Minck thismedicallife.com.au/breast-screeni…
This week's #podcast is up. Should women be warned on breast density? @CateSwannellTMR talks with patients & policymakers about whether BreastScreen Australia should notify women with dense breasts & offer more testing for those at most risk. medicalrepublic.com.au/should-women-b… #GPtwitter
Current evidence tells us that being overweight is a risk factor for breast cancer. So fat cells in the breast are bad, right? Maybe not. New research suggests it's more complicated than that. Dr Sandy Minck explains.... informd.org.au/research/can-h…
A big win for South Australian women today! We're the first state in Australia to report all categories of breast density to all women attending BreastScreen. Such important information for women to know so they can make the best choices for their breast health.

Fantastic news for South Australians. Great leadership and research from A/Prof Michelle Reintals How do we roll-out to other states? #densebreasts #breastdensity

"Higher than average mammographic #breastdensity is associated with an increased risk of #breastcancer." Can we please start measuring, recording and notifying #breastdensity in all #BreastScreen jurisdictions.

Shout out to Prof Bruce Mann @PeterMacCC @VCCCAlliance and A/Prof Carolyn Nickson @DaffodilCentre. Jam packed agenda and robust discussions at today’s #breastcancer symposium. The arguments for #tailoredscreening laid out - we have the threshold for positive change. #ROSA
Not all women can tolerate or access screening MRI, financial barriers reduce equity. Contrast-enhanced mammography (CEM) better tolerated, lower cost, becoming a good alternative. Ultrasound if contrast-enhanced methods not available. @BCRFcure @PBCC @DenseBreastInfo
Health Care Provider Knowledge Gaps on Breast Cancer Risk Must be Resolved to Improve Screening. New research out here: ow.ly/hLyb50MIs5q

Great public education piece with @katiecouric on @mitchellreports, #DenseBreasts can drastically compromise the effectiveness of a mammogram. Did you know cancer may be present even when a mammogram is "normal"? @DenseBreastInfo

Women with #densebreasts need supplemental screening @EUSOBIyc #screening #knowledge ➡️ Dense breasts are normal & common ➡️ Mammograms are less effective on dense breasts ➡️ Please share @DenseBreastInfo printable UK Density Request forms ➡️ densebreast-info.org/density-reques…
Every year about 100,000 American women with #DenseBreasts are told their screening mammogram is “normal” but have undiagnosed breast cancer that could be found if sent for more screening. A missed opportunity to #FindItEarly. Learn more at DenseBreast-info.org.

South Australian women going for a mammogram will soon become the first in the nation to also be able to learn their breast density. Density can mask signs of cancer and knowing where they stand can lessen the risk of women suffering serious disease. @samanthah0gan #9News
