World Dense Breast Day

World Dense Breast Day is an annual awareness campaign held on the last Wednesday of September.

It was launched in 2022 to raise awareness about dense breasts and share medically-sourced educational resources available for women and health providers.

Dense breasts, which have more glandular and fibrous tissue, can increase breast cancer risk and make mammograms harder to interpret.

The campaign emphasizes the importance of understanding breast density, supplemental screening options like ultrasound or MRI, and personalized risk assessments.
