Research: Cancer does not take a time-out

Adding Ultrasound and MRI to Mammography for women with dense breast tissue is very effective in finding cancers that otherwise would be missed by mammography.

Isn't it time for the Medical Trade Associations (ACR, ACOG, AMA) to join Are You Dense & Are You Dense Advocacy, Inc.in these legislative efforts to give women information about their breast density and its masking risk (density "masks" ability of docs to see cancers on mammogram) and its causal risk (a well established independent predictor of having breast cancer)?

See short video of Dr. Wendie Berg's discussion of the results of a study demonstrating that mammography misses every other cancer in dense breasts.
