The greatest risk factor for breast melanoma that you have under no circumstances heard of - Telegraph.co.uk

In Australia – where researchers had been searching on the importance of breast density in early cancer detection for forty years – seven breast melanoma doctors put their names to a paper 'recommending tailored screening programmes where girls bear decent first-rate screening measures in accordance with degrees of breast density and cancer risk.'

within the UK, two ladies, Cheryl Cruwys and Terry Bainbridge, have joined forces to establish the united kingdom branch of Breast Density matters, with the aim of persuading the NHS that all ladies with dense breasts may still take delivery of an ultrasound in addition to a mammogram.

After discovering a lump, Terry turned into given the option to have just the lump eliminated, or her total breast.  She decided to have a mastectomy 'just to dispose of it'. On inspecting the removed breast, it became discovered that the lump was sitting on good of a really colossal tumour the measurement of a satsuma, which had doubtless started turning out to be 10-15 years up to now – in her twenties. She had gone through previous mammograms however the tumour turned into not detected as a result of her dense breast tissue.
