You Got the Letter: What to Do Next After a Dense Breast Notification
Join us on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET for an important webinar on understanding and responding to the letter you receive after your mammogram if it mentions you have dense breasts.
If the letter you receive after your mammogram mentions you have dense breasts, it can raise important questions about hidden cancers on a mammogram, breast cancer risk, and whether additional screening should be considered. In this session, leading experts JoAnn Pushkin and Wendie Berg, MD, PhD, will provide a clear, practical overview of why breast density matters, what the letter means, and how women and their healthcare providers can navigate next steps.
The webinar will explore how breast density fits into personal breast surveillance, when supplemental screening may be appropriate, and key questions to guide conversations with healthcare providers. Attendees will also learn about available resources to support informed, confident decision-making.
This session is open to all and designed for women (patients), while also welcoming providers, partners, navigators, and anyone interested in improving understanding of breast cancer screening and follow-up care.
