ACE's Professor Miriam Brazzelli is one of the presenters at the upcoming UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) seminar.
Breast density and mammography
Women with dense breast tissue are at greater risk of breast cancer. They are more likely to have a cancer missed by screening, as dense breast tissue and abnormal breast tissue can have a similar appearance on a mammogram.
This seminar will look at the increasing evidence for offering additional screening tests to women with dense breasts.
The session will be chaired by Prof Anne Mackie, the UK NSC Director of Programmes. The presenters will be:
- Dr Rosalind Given-Wilson, Consultant Radiologist/Honorary Professor, University of Warwick/Warwick Medical School
- Dr Louise Wilkinson, Consultant Radiologist, Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
- Prof Miriam Brazzelli, Professor of Health Services Research, University of Aberdeen
There will be a panel Q&A session following the presentations.
UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) seminars, held online via MS Teams, are free for anyone to attend. They provide an opportunity to hear from clinicians and experts on a variety of topics relating to screening tests and screening programmes.
