Abstract

Interview with Dr. Priscilla Slanetz on legislation on breast density and supplemental breast-cancer screening. (12:04)Download A grassroots movement to inform women about their breast density has resulted in laws in 20 states mandating provision of that information. But the ability to detect breast cancer is affected by many factors, and evidence supporting supplemental screening is lacking.
