The public comment period for this proposed rule ends on June 26, 2019. All comments will then be reviewed by the FDA and a final rule will be published. The amendment will become effective 18 months following finalization, likely in early 202. Prominent International Oncology Resource, ecancer.org, Highlights Importance of Breast Density Education:
