BREAST CANCER SCREENING in 2020: mammography, ultrasound, MRI -- what you need to know

We all know that breast cancer screening allows us to find cancers earlier when it's most treatable.... but what is best? When should you start getting mammograms? When should you stop? How frequent should this be? What about for dense breast tissue? When should you get an ultrasound or an MRI? What is tomosynthesis or 3D mammography? What do all of the professional societies say about screening, and why do recommendations vary? We cover all of this in this video!
