The impact of breast density notification in Australia [ 1/1/2021 - 10/31/2026 ]

Research Grant

Brief description Breast density is an independent risk factor for breast cancer and it increases the risk of having a cancer missed during screening. Notifying women about their breast density has been endorsed as a way to combat this risk. However, the evidence to support breast density notification and recommendations for supplemental screening in the general population of women is far from clear. This research will provide critical new evidence to ensure that Australian women receive evidence-based care.
