Fortunately, increased awareness, education, advanced screenings, and genetic testing have empowered more women to understand their risk factors. There is one risk factor, however, that many women may not know too well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.cooperhealth.org\/ehealth\/2024\/10\/02\/breast-density-what-every-woman-needs-to-know\/#espanol\">Para leer en Espa\u00f1ol, por favor haga clic aqu\u00ed<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoctors assess many risk factors for breast cancer, such as age, genetic mutations, and family history,\u201d explains <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/marion-brody-md\">Marion Brody, MD<\/a>, a diagnostic radiologist at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/md-anderson-cancer-center-cooper\">MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper<\/a>. \u201cHowever, one significant risk factor that many women may not be familiar with is dense breast tissue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As of September 2024, the FDA requires all mammogram facilities across the country to include a breast density notice in every patient\u2019s report. Before this, the rules for reporting dense breast tissue varied from state to state, and some didn\u2019t require any notification at all. A 2014 New Jersey law requires all women to be notified of their breast density on their mammogram report.\u00a0 This law also provides for additional screening coverage for women with extremely dense breasts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAbout 50% of women ages 40 and older have dense breast tissue,\u201d says Dr. Brody. \u201cKnowing your breast density allows for more proactive and personalized care, which can make a difference in early detection.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What Is Breast Density?<\/h3>\n<p>Breasts are made up of three types of tissue: <strong>fibrous<\/strong> tissue that holds them in place, <strong>glandular<\/strong> tissue that produces and moves milk, and <strong>fatty tissue<\/strong> that fills the space and gives breasts their shape. Breast density refers to how much fibrous and glandular tissue there is compared with fat. If you have dense breasts, it means there\u2019s more fibrous and glandular tissue than fat.<\/p>\n<p>On a mammogram, dense breast tissue appears as solid white areas, which can make it harder to detect abnormalities and may increase the likelihood of missed tumors.<\/p>\n<h3>What Causes Dense Breasts?<\/h3>\n<p>The exact reasons for differences in breast density aren\u2019t fully understood. However, certain factors make some women more likely to have dense breasts. Hormone levels, body composition, and genetics all play a role in breast density.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Younger age. <\/strong>As women age, breast tissue tends to become less dense, although some women may have dense breasts at any age.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Lower body mass index (BMI).<\/strong>Women with less body fat are more likely to have dense breast tissue compared with women who have more body fat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Hormone therapy. <\/strong>Women who take combination hormone therapy to relieve the signs and symptoms of menopause are more likely to have dense breasts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Throughout a woman&#8217;s life, her breast density may change if any of these factors shift.<\/p>\n<h3>Why Does Breast Density Matter?<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cLooking at dense breasts with mammography is like looking through a cloud.\u201d Dr. Brody says. \u201cBoth normal dense breast tissue and many cancers appear solid white on mammogram. The more dense breast tissue you have, the harder it is to perceive an abnormal finding. A small tumor may be missed. Also, women with dense breasts have a higher overall risk of developing breast cancer than women with less dense breasts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All of Cooper\u2019s Breast Imaging Centers use 3D mammography as the standard technology for breast cancer screening. A 3D mammogram (breast tomosynthesis) takes multiple X-rays to create a 3D image of the breast. This allows doctors to better distinguish dense breast tissue from tumors.<\/p>\n<p>If your doctor requests additional screening for breast cancer, our centers also offer advanced technologies, such as breast ultrasound and MRI.<\/p>\n<p>Cooper\u2019s Breast Imaging Centers have been designated Breast Imaging Centers of Excellence by the American College of Radiology. Cooper is the only hospital-based imaging program in South Jersey designated as a Center of Excellence..<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper has a special program for women who have dense breasts. The breast health experts at MD Anderson at Cooper\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/dense-breast-clinic\">Dense Breast Clinic<\/a>\u00a0provide women with a comprehensive physical examination, including a review of existing breast imaging studies and other risk factors. The team then develops personalized screening recommendations for each woman.<\/p>\n<h3>Schedule Your Mammogram Today<\/h3>\n<p>Early detection is important for all women ages 40 and older to get an annual mammogram. If you have been told that you have dense breasts, regular mammograms are even more important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnderstanding breast density can be challenging, but knowledge is power,\u201d Dr. Brody says. \u201cAnd the experts at MD Anderson at Cooper are here to guide you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With several locations throughout the region, we make it easy to schedule your mammogram.

Afortunadamente, una mayor concientizaci\u00f3n, educaci\u00f3n, ex\u00e1menes de detecci\u00f3n avanzados y pruebas gen\u00e9ticas han permitido a m\u00e1s mujeres comprender sus factores de riesgo. Sin embargo, existe un factor de riesgo que muchas mujeres tal vez no conozcan demasiado bien.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Los m\u00e9dicos eval\u00faan muchos factores de riesgo del c\u00e1ncer de mama, como la edad, las mutaciones gen\u00e9ticas y los antecedentes familiares&#8221;, explica la <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/doctors\/marion-brody-md\">Marion Brody, MD<\/a>, radi\u00f3loga de diagn\u00f3stico del <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/md-anderson-cancer-center-cooper\">MD Anderson Cancer Center at Cooper<\/a>. &#8220;Sin embargo, un factor de riesgo importante con el que muchas mujeres pueden no estar familiarizadas es el tejido mamario denso&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>A partir de septiembre de 2024, la FDA exige que todos los centros de mamograf\u00eda de todo el pa\u00eds incluyan un aviso sobre la densidad mamaria en el informe de cada paciente. Antes de esto, las reglas para informar sobre tejido mamario denso variaban de un estado a otro, y algunas no requer\u00edan ninguna notificaci\u00f3n. Nueva Jersey promulg\u00f3 una ley estatal en mayo de 2014 (hace m\u00e1s de 10 a\u00f1os) que exige que todas las mujeres sean notificadas de su densidad mamaria en su informe de mamograf\u00eda.\u00a0 Esta ley tambi\u00e9n prev\u00e9 una cobertura adicional de detecci\u00f3n para mujeres con senos extremadamente densos.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Aproximadamente el 50% de las mujeres de 40 a\u00f1os o m\u00e1s tienen tejido mamario denso&#8221;, dice el Dr. Brody. &#8220;Conocer la densidad mamaria permite una atenci\u00f3n m\u00e1s proactiva y personalizada, lo que puede marcar la diferencia en la detecci\u00f3n temprana&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 es la densidad mamaria?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Los senos se componen de tres tipos de tejido: tejido fibroso que los mantiene en su lugar, tejido glandular que produce y mueve la leche y tejido graso que llena el espacio y le da forma a los senos. La densidad mamaria se refiere a la cantidad de tejido fibroso y glandular que hay en comparaci\u00f3n con la grasa. Si tienes senos densos, significa que hay m\u00e1s tejido fibroso y glandular que grasa.<\/p>\n<p>En una mamograf\u00eda, el tejido mamario denso aparece como \u00e1reas blancas s\u00f3lidas, lo que puede dificultar la detecci\u00f3n de anomal\u00edas y puede aumentar la probabilidad de que se pasen por alto tumores.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfQu\u00e9 causa los senos densos?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las razones exactas de las diferencias en la densidad mamaria no se comprenden completamente. Sin embargo, ciertos factores hacen que algunas mujeres sean m\u00e1s propensas a tener senos densos. Los niveles hormonales, la composici\u00f3n corporal y la gen\u00e9tica influyen en la densidad mamaria.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Edad m\u00e1s joven.<\/strong> A medida que las mujeres envejecen, el tejido mamario tiende a volverse menos denso, aunque algunas mujeres pueden tener senos densos a cualquier edad.<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u00cdndice de masa corporal (IMC) m\u00e1s bajo.<\/strong> Las mujeres con menos grasa corporal tienen m\u00e1s probabilidades de tener tejido mamario denso en comparaci\u00f3n con las mujeres que tienen m\u00e1s grasa corporal.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Terapia hormonal.<\/strong> Las mujeres que toman terapia hormonal combinada para aliviar los signos y s\u00edntomas de la menopausia tienen m\u00e1s probabilidades de tener senos densos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A lo largo de la vida de una mujer, la densidad de sus senos puede cambiar si alguno de estos factores cambia.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 es importante la densidad mamaria?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Observar senos densos con mamograf\u00eda es como mirar a trav\u00e9s de una nube&#8221;. Dice el Dr. Brody. \u201cTanto el tejido mamario denso normal como muchos c\u00e1nceres aparecen de color blanco s\u00f3lido en la mamograf\u00eda. Cuanto m\u00e1s denso sea el tejido mamario, m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil ser\u00e1 percibir un hallazgo anormal. Es posible que se pase por alto un tumor peque\u00f1o. Adem\u00e1s, las mujeres con senos densos tienen un mayor riesgo general de desarrollar c\u00e1ncer de mama que las mujeres con senos menos densos\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Todos los centros de im\u00e1genes mamarias de Cooper utilizan mamograf\u00eda 3D como tecnolog\u00eda est\u00e1ndar para la detecci\u00f3n del c\u00e1ncer de mama. Una mamograf\u00eda 3D (tomos\u00edntesis mamaria) toma m\u00faltiples radiograf\u00edas para crear una imagen 3D de la mama. Esto permite a los m\u00e9dicos distinguir mejor el tejido mamario denso de los tumores.<\/p>\n<p>Si su m\u00e9dico solicita pruebas de detecci\u00f3n adicionales para el c\u00e1ncer de mama, nuestros centros tambi\u00e9n ofrecen tecnolog\u00edas avanzadas, como ecograf\u00eda mamaria y resonancia magn\u00e9tica.<\/p>\n<p>Los Centros de Im\u00e1genes Mamarias de Cooper han sido designados Centros de Excelencia en Im\u00e1genes Mamarias por el Colegio Americano de Radiolog\u00eda. Cooper es el \u00fanico programa de im\u00e1genes hospitalario en el sur de Jersey con esta designaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Adem\u00e1s, MD Anderson en Cooper tiene un programa especial para mujeres que tienen senos densos. Los expertos en salud mamaria del MD Anderson en Cooper&#8217;s \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooperhealth.org\/services\/dense-breast-clinic\">Dense Breast Clinic<\/a>\u00a0brindan a las mujeres un examen f\u00edsico completo, que incluye una revisi\u00f3n de los estudios de im\u00e1genes mamarias existentes y otros factores de riesgo. Luego, el equipo desarrolla recomendaciones de detecci\u00f3n personalizadas para cada mujer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Programe su mamograf\u00eda hoy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Es importante que todas las mujeres de 40 a\u00f1os o m\u00e1s se hagan una mamograf\u00eda anual.
