A member asked:
What is the odds for breast cancer for women in her 40s with dense breast and no other risk factors?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Breast cancer: The odds are tough to understand when you say you are in your 40's. Please make an appointment to see a Gynecologist to determine if your numbers are OK or if you need more (or less) treatment.

Why do you ask?: It's moot. Breast density is not a factor. If you find a dominant mass, get seen without delay and a cure is highly likely. With zero risk factors, it's low but the real protection comes from alertness.
