Time: 12 p.m. Eastern
Held in recognition of World Dense Breast Day, this provider-focused webinar will explore how clinicians and care teams can respond to breast density information within today’s evolving screening and risk-assessment landscape. Using practical case examples, speakers will examine how to place breast density within the context of a patient’s overall breast cancer risk, interpret risk-assessment information, and navigate decisions about supplemental screening and next steps. The discussion will also address areas of evolving evidence and guidance, as well as real-world considerations such as access, insurance coverage, available imaging resources, and implementation across diverse clinical settings. Attendees will gain practical perspectives and resources to support informed, individualized conversations and decision-making with patients.
