Breast Cancer by the Numbers
-
Breast cancer remains one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers among women in the United States.
-
Each year, hundreds of thousands of women are diagnosed, and many families are impacted by the disease.
-
Current estimates show that 1 in 8 women will receive a breast cancer diagnosis during their lifetime, and for women in their 50s, the risk is approximately 1 in 42 within that decade.
-
A variety of screening methods are available today—including self-exams, clinical breast exams, mammography, handheld ultrasound, and MRI.
-
Each plays an important role in breast health and routine care. Many women choose to explore additional screening options as part of a more proactive and informed approach to their health.
Why Some Women Choose Additional Breast Screening Options
-
Mammography is widely recognized as an important tool in breast cancer screening, with many guidelines recommending routine exams beginning at age 40. Staying up to date with recommended screenings is an important part of overall breast health.
-
At the same time, every imaging method provides a different perspective of breast tissue. Factors such as breast density, implants, and individual comfort can influence a woman’s experience and the type of imaging that may be helpful for her.
-
At Perk Imaging, our goal is to offer a more comfortable, non-invasive screening experience using QT Ultrasound technology. This radiation-free approach offers a different type of 3D breast imaging, which many women choose as an additional screening option alongside routine care.
-
This service is intended to support proactive screening and provide additional insight, helping patients have more informed conversations with their healthcare providers.
Having Dense Breasts
-
Many women have dense breast tissue, which is a common and normal finding. Breast density can influence how breast tissue appears on different types of imaging.
-
Approximately half of women between the ages of 40 and 74 in the United States have dense breasts. Because dense tissue and other structures can appear similar on certain imaging methods, additional screening may sometimes be recommended as part of a more complete evaluation.
-
In recent years, the FDA has recognized the importance of breast density in screening. Updated regulations now require that mammography reports include information about breast density, helping women better understand their individual breast health.
-
Many women with dense breast tissue choose to explore additional imaging options that provide a different view of breast tissue and a more comfortable, non-invasive screening experience.
