New study released on breast cancer screenings
SUMMARY: Women with dense breast tissue may require more than standard mammograms for effective cancer detection. While mammograms can save up to 11 lives per 1,000 screenings, about half of women have dense breasts, complicating early detection. A new study suggests that women with dense breast tissue may benefit from follow-up breast MRIs, potentially increasing lives saved by 10%. However, added screenings come with risks, including more false positives. It’s crucial for women to discuss their individual breast cancer risk with healthcare providers to determine the most effective screening methods. Regular screenings are essential for early cancer detection.
According to the study, some women may need more than a mammogram to detect breast cancer.

Inspired after her mom's mastectomy, NC woman creates breast cancer recovery wear
SUMMARY: Inspired by her mother Nancy’s difficult recovery post-mastectomy and complications, she developed a new surgical bra featuring drain pocket holders and compression bands. Nancy faced challenges with drain placement, prompting a friend to sew a pocket for her. This experience highlighted a widespread issue affecting millions of women. Recognizing that insurance typically covers two bras every six months, she felt compelled to create a better postoperative option to support patients effectively. The bra addresses essential needs for women undergoing surgery, providing comfort while securely holding drain pouches, allowing for easy adjustments and enhancing the recovery experience.
Leah Wyrick founded Three Strands Recovery Wear in her dorm room as a freshman at Wake Forest University. She was inspired to create a new surgical bra with special features like drain pocket holders and compression bands after seeing what her mom went through following a mastectomy and three subsequent surgeries due to complications.
