Prevalence of Mammographically Dense Breasts in the United States:
Conclusion
The prevalence of dense breasts among US women of common breast cancer screening ages exceeds 25 million. Policymakers and healthcare providers should consider this large prevalence when debating breast density notification legislation and designing strategies to ensure that women who are notified have opportunities to evaluate breast cancer risk and discuss and pursue supplemental screening options if deemed appropriate.

Issue Section: Article
Mammographic breast density is a strong risk factor for developing breast cancer (1,2) and also impairs mammography performance (3–6). At least 12 states have recently passed legislation that mandates the disclosure of mammographic breast density information directly to women with dense breasts, along with language communicating that breast density may obscure abnormalities on a mammogram and that these women may benefit from supplemental screening tests (7). Similar legislation is under consideration by many other states and at the national level (8). The number of women potentially affected by this legislation has not been well characterized.
