Breast density impact on mammography screening
Part of Cancer, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at how breast density affects the ability of mammograms to find breast cancer. It involves women who had a mammogram through a specific screening program.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a new imaging technique to better see suspicious calcifications found during a mammogram. If you have these calcifications, this might help doctors learn more about them.
This study tests whether taking a medicine called ulipristal acetate before a mammogram can improve the breast density seen on the scan, possibly making cancer easier to detect.
This study is testing whether adding an MRI to your regular mammogram can help find any new breast cancers earlier. It is for women who have had breast cancer before and still have dense breast tissue, making mammograms harder to read.
This study is testing whether adding an MRI to a normal mammogram can find more cancers in women with dense breasts. If you participate, you may benefit from extra monitoring and peace of mind.
This trial compares two imaging tests—CESM (a contrast-enhanced mammogram) and DBT (3D mammography)—to see which works best for women with dense breast tissue. It may help improve how early breast changes are found in dense breasts.
This trial offers extra screening (MRI or contrast-enhanced mammogram) for women with extremely dense breast tissue who have had a normal mammogram. The goal is to see if these extra tests can find cancers that might be missed by standard mammography.
