Dense Breast in Reports Does Not Indicate Cancer, Experts Explain

Many women feel alarmed when their breast examination report mentions 'dense breast,' fearing it might indicate cancer. However, experts clarify that 'dense breast' refers to the amount of glandular tissue compared to fat in the breast. A dense breast has more glandular tissue, which produces milk, while a less dense breast contains more fat. This condition itself is not a sign of cancer.
