Ever since Nancy Cappello, a Connecticut woman who hadn't been told that her mammograms showed dense breast tissue, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer in 2004 and advocated for a new state law, there's been a growing movement to educate women about breast density and the potential role of supplemental screening in early cancer detection. Cappello's state was the first to pass a law requiring physicians to offer supplemental whole-breast ultrasonography to women with dense breasts — defined as containing more than 50% fibroglandular tissue — and mandating that insurers cover the additional screening.
