10/19/22 - Special Guests - Dr. Pamela Habib&Dr. David Schacht: Breast Density - a podcast by Doug Stephan

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and we have special guests Dr. Pamela Habib (Head of US Medical Affairs, Bayer Radiology) and Dr. David Schacht (Breast Radiologist at Northwestern’s Lynne Sage Breast Center at Prentice Women’s Hospital) joining us to discuss the topic of breast density.

Many women schedule annual mammograms as a result of the national spotlight on breast health and breast cancer risk. But what happens if a mammogram identifies dense breast tissue? Nearly half of women aged 40 and over who have mammograms are told they have dense breasts, which can increase risk of breast cancer. For women with the densest breasts, the risk for breast cancer can be four to six times higher than women with the least dense breasts.
