Mammographic breast density can be a challenge for general practitioners (GPs) and their patients. High mammographic breast density lowers the sensitivity of breast cancer screening; thereby increasing the risk of an interval cancer between screening episodes, and moderately increases breast cancer risk. Breast Screen WA is the only Australian state screening program to notify women and their GP when a mammogram shows marked increased breast density (and have been doing so for over 10 years). Women are advised in writing to consult their GP to discuss the significance of their breast density, to have a clinical examination and receive further advice about their breast cancer risk.At this webinar, Associate Professor Jennifer Stone will discuss the significance of breast density, its occurrence, how to discuss the implications of increased breast density with patients, and the way forward.On the morning of Tuesday 25 October an email will be sent to registered attendees which will contain a link to join the webinar.
