Women's health podcast series: breast cancer screening update

from The Check-up

In this episode of our "women’s health podcast series,” Sydney-based GP and Medical Educator Rebecca Chan sits down with Breast Physican, Dr Katrina Tiller, chair of the RACGP breast special interests group, to unpack the recent introduction of breast density reporting, what it means for patients, and how GPs can confidently guide screening conversations in everyday practice.  Breast density reporting has recently been introduced across several BreastScreen programs, leading to more patients seeking guidance on what it means for their breast cancer risk and screening options. In this episode, Dr Katrina Tiller, breast physician and chair of the RACGP special interests group in breast medicine, helps clarify these important updates. She explains how breast density affects risk, how to interpret category C or D findings, and when supplementary screening might be necessary. We’ll also delve into navigating the complex discussions increasingly presented by breast cancer screening in general practice.  Read the Blog: https://medcast.com.au/blog/womens-health-podcast-series-breast-cancer-screening-update Log your CPD: https://medcast.com.au/account/management/cpd?createActivity=140261&utm_source=medcast-blog&utm_term=/blog/womens-health-podcast-series-breast-cancer-screening-update
