Why Breast Density Matters in Cancer Screening Dense breast tissue affects screening in two key ways: Reduced Visibility : Dense tissue appears white on mammograms, as do tumors, making it harder to detect abnormalities. Inter-radiologist Variation : Assessments can vary up to 33% 1 when different radiologists interpret the same mammograms.
