More than 300,000 women in the United States are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, a stunning number given how much confusion exists around screening and treatment. In this episode, 20-Minute Health Talk host Sandra Lindsay discusses the powerful role of early detection in saving women's lives with Susan K. Boolbol, MD, FACS, the system chief of breast surgical oncology and breast program at Northwell/Nuvance Health. Dr. Boolbol also addresses some of the myths surrounding breast cancer and sheds light on dense breasts, biopsy misconceptions, and the importance of proactive care.
