Breast Cancer/Bilateral mammography results

Expert: - 12/28/2007


Question
I just got my results and my Dr. will not be available soon.  I'm a little concerned with the results.  Quote:  Findings: Both breast are heterogenously dense. No suspicious masses, abnormal calcifications or architectural distortions are noted.  No skin thickening is seen.  Impression: Negative for Malignancy
BI-Rads Category :1

Answer
The ONLY remarkable thing here is that your breasts are dense. Then mammography is certainly not enough. You should also have that complemented with ultrasound & MRI breast scans. If these are ok too you have nothing to worry about at present (no guarantees for the future can be given to anyone)!
