BCNA welcomes the announcement by BreastScreen NSW to report breast density, which is to be phased in over the coming months.
We want to acknowledge the leadership of the team in New South Wales for driving this important initiative forward.
Providing this important information is essential to help women make more informed decisions about their breast health and improve health outcomes.
As we await the BreastScreen Australia National Policy and Funding Review, we are calling on the remaining states, Tasmania, Queensland, and the Northern Territory to implement breast density reporting.
It’s time to move beyond a one-size-fits-all approach to breast screening. BCNA will continue to advocate for national consistency in breast density reporting. Watch the news item via link Factor linked to breast cancer
