Dense breast tissue: What it means to have dense breasts
Dense breast tissue is detected on a mammogram. Additional imaging tests are sometimes recommended for women with dense breasts.By Mayo Clinic Staff
If a recent mammogram showed you have dense breast tissue, you may wonder what this means for your breast cancer risk. Doctors know dense breast tissue makes breast cancer screening more difficult and it increases the risk of breast cancer.
Review your breast cancer risk factors with your doctor and consider your options for additional breast cancer screening tests. Together you can decide whether additional screening tests are right for you.

Don’t risk it
Mammograms are a common but imperfect way of assessing breast cancer risk. Current U.S. breast cancer screening guidelines all use a component of cancer risk assessment to inform clinical course. Yala
et al. developed a machine learning model called “Mirai” to predict breast cancer risk based on traditional mammograms. The authors’ risk model performed better than Tyrer-Cuzick and previous deep learning models at identifying both 5-year breast cancer risk and high-risk patients across multiple international cohorts. Mirai also performed similarly across race and ethnicity categories, suggesting the potential for improvement in patient care across the board.
