Center of Excellence for Breast Cancer at Mount Sinai Highlights Key Updates and Trends for Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2024

New York, NY (September 30, 2024)—As we mark the beginning of Breast Cancer Awareness Month 2024, the Center of Excellence for Breast Cancer at the Tisch Cancer Institute at Mount Sinai is proud to share essential updates in breast cancer screening and technology that have the potential to significantly improve early detection and patient care. This year, our focus includes the latest mammogram guidelines, a recent Food and Drug Administration (FDA) ruling on breast density, and the growing role of artificial intelligence (AI) as a tool in mammography.

Three Things Women Should Do:

  • Schedule your mammogram: Follow the new guideline to begin regular screenings at age 40
  • Review breast density information: Understand your breast density from your mammogram report and discuss any additional screening needs with your health care provider
  • Know your risk: Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in U.S. women, behind only lung cancer.
