Dense Breast Tissue and Advanced Mammography Methods

Early diagnosis of breast cancer saves lives. However, some women have denser breast tissue, which can make tumors difficult to detect on conventional mammography. In this regard, 3D mammography and contrast-enhanced mammography offer critical advantages for women with dense breast tissue.

What is Dense Breast Tissue?

✔️ Approximately 40% of women have dense breast tissue
✔️ Dense tissues appear white on mammography and can hide tumors
✔️ This situation makes early diagnosis difficult.

3D Mammography (Tomosynthesis)

3D mammography is an advanced version of classical mammography.

➤ Takes multiple images of breast tissue from different angles
➤ Allows for layer-by-layer analysis
➤ Increases visibility of small tumors in dense tissue
📊 According to research, it detects 30% more cancers at an early stage

Advantages of Contrast-Enhanced Mammography

Contrast-enhanced mammography allows tumors to be seen more clearly by using a special dye (contrast material).

✔️ Effective in revealing hidden tumors
✔️ Provides high accuracy in dense breast tissue
✔️ Reduces unnecessary biopsy rates
📊 Recent studies show that it detects 3 times more invasive tumors than conventional mammography.

What Should Women With Dense Breast Tissue Do?

✔️ Every woman over the age of 40 should have a mammogram once a year
✔️ 3D or contrast-enhanced mammography should be preferred in those with dense breast tissue.
✔️ Additional imaging with ultrasound or MRI is recommended if risk factors are present

The Importance of Early Diagnosis

Missed cases due to dense breast tissue can lead to the disease being diagnosed at an advanced stage. Therefore, advanced methods are lifesaving for early diagnosis.
