Breast density is a major factor in the failure of mammography to detect breast cancer. Many states are now requiring that women be informed of their breast density along with their mammogram results. I am 42, pre-menopausal and have dense breasts. Just this summer I had an inconclusive mammogram along with a bi-lateral compression test and an ultrasound that were all unable to confirm the absence of cancer because of my density. I ended up having a BSGI/MBI test which is good for women with dense tissue. I received an injection of a tracer that accumulates in the cancer cells and makes them light up on the computer screen. This test is said to be comparable to an MRI and cheaper. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is not comfortable with the results of their mammogram or ultrasound and wants to ease their mind.
