BreastScreen NSW to report breast density
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.

BreastScreen NSW and Qld may be advising of your Breast Density in 2025 - cancer or not!
This article was in the Sun Herald yesterday ..... yet another woman who was given the all clear from BreastScreen NSW (same as me) only to have Breast Cancer diagnosed just months later. USA & UK are now advising their clients of their breast density & explaining the reason why a mammogram alone is not sufficient for women with dense breast tissue. BreastScreen WA and SA are also advising their clients too ..... WHY NOT ALL THE OTHERS? So it will be another year before this study is concluded, then they will no doubt argue long & hard on the 'yay' or 'nay' factors ...... whilst other women are being NOT diagnosed correctly, when they should have been. This is the article, below - you may need to expand it to read a couple of columns at a time, to make it easier to read ... Make sure you daughters/sisters etc are all aware that those living in NSW, Qld, Vic, Tas and NT - are NOT receiving the same 'duty of care' that BreastScreen WA and BreastScreen SA are giving THEIR clients. :( Mods - @Mez_BCNA - can Dense Breast Tissue please be added to the 'Popular Tag List' .... the only one I can see there is 'breast density' ... if you search by 'dense' or 'dense breast tissue' - nothing comes up
