Typically, if someone asked “are you dense?” it would put you
on
emotional defense. But my guest today Nancy M. Cappello, Ph.D.,
wants you to think of breast defense when you hear the name of her
organization. Nancy is the Director and Founder of Are You Dense
and Are You Dense Advocacy, Inc. Both groups have a mission to
educate the public about the particular risks and screening
challenges of having dense breast tissue to prevent missed,
delayed, and advanced-stage cancer, thus reducing mortality. She is
the inspiration behind Connecticut’s first-in-the-nation density
reporting law passed in 2009, making the state a global leader in
density reporting, adjunct screening, and the density reporting
grassroots movement.
