October 13, 2014 — Three out of four people are not aware that dense breast tissue increases a woman’s risk of developing breast cancer, according to a new global study from GE Healthcare exploring perspectives on breast cancer with an emphasis on understanding awareness around dense breast tissue and the most common symptoms of breast cancer. The “Value of Knowing” global survey of 10,000 adults across 10 countries highlighted a significant lack of awareness about the breast cancer risk associated with having dense breast tissue. Women with dense breast tissue have four to five times higher risk of developing breast cancer, yet only one out of five people globally has seen, heard, or read about dense breast tissue in the last six months. Further, less than half of adults are confident in naming some of the most common signs and symptoms of breast cancer.
