Dense Breasts, please watch

[Guest guest]

Watching this may help you or someone you know. While this concerns breast

cancer primarily it also shows quite clearly the process a new diagnostic

technique must go through before proving to be better than on that already

exists; something anyone with ANY cancer struggles with.

Also interesting is how collaboration between concerned doctors and those in

separate fields of medicine and science MUST work together to provide ultimately

better, safer and more effective treatments and diagnostics for all patients.

we all know that CLL places us at far higher risk of secondary cancers, and for

women, one of those is breast cancer. Dense breasts increase our risk, aside

from CLL, by many fold. To date, Conn. is the only state in the US that

mandates informing patients of their breast density. Is this because

mammography is almost useless in such cases? watch this Mayo doctors talk and

answer for yourself.
