What You’ll Learn
Upon completing this activity, participants will be able to:
- Explain breast density and its impact on mammography sensitivity and cancer detection.
- Describe U.S. breast density notification standards and what they mean for your patients.
- Guide shared decision-making by outlining key facts and available resources about supplemental screening.
- Apply current risk assessment guidelines from the NCCN, ACR, ACS, and EUSOBI for patients with increased risk.
- Compare imaging modalities for supplemental screening in women with dense breasts.
- Navigate insurance and billing considerations related to advanced screening options.
Why This CME Matters
Studies show many providers are underprepared to discuss breast density and its implications. This educational offering is built on real-world knowledge gaps, including:
- Limited awareness of how dense breast tissue reduces the sensitivity of mammography.
- Inadequate training in breast cancer risk models and supplemental screening guidelines.
- Difficulty conducting confident, evidence-based discussions with patients about screening options.
This CME activity addresses both knowledge and competence needs, empowering providers to make informed referrals and improve early detection strategies.
Designed for:
- OB-GYNs
