Thanks for the Layman's link, SoCalGal. I appreciate it. It is similar to the other articles I found but was also helpful to read. I've summed up the content of all these articles in my paper but none of these articles I've read so far really gets into the science and research studies much but there sure is tons of science on all those slides. The content of the sessions did not talk about prophylactic mastectomies or legislation. It was looking at genetics, epidemiology,etc behind breast density and it's clinical implications. There is increased risk for breast cancer with breast density but not increased mortality.

Lani, thanks for your willingness to help me later on when you have more time. That would be great.
