Mayo Clinic Minute - What does a dense breast tissue diagnosis mean?

A recent Food and Drug Administration rule requires healthcare providers to notify people if they have dense breast tissue. Studies have shown that dense breast tissue can make it more difficult to detect breast cancer early.
Dr. Kristin Robinson, a Mayo Clinic breast radiologist, says women with dense breast tissue are at a slightly increased risk of developing breast cancer compared to women without, and that’s why early detection is so important.
