More Questions on Density Disclosure
CMAJ Article Questions Effectiveness of Density Disclosure:
An article in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ), “Breast density disclosure may do more harm than good,” drew powerful responses from Dr. Paula Gordon, DB-i Medical Advisory Board member and Volunteer Advisor for Dense Breasts Canada, and Dr. Martin Yaffe, Research Scientist at University of Toronto, Ontario Institute for Cancer Research. DB-i applauds them both for their responses that effectively highlights the implications of dense breasts and addresses concerns about the need for women to be aware of their density status.
