Overview
Mission
The mission of breast cancer ruckus is as follows: to increase awareness about the limitations of mammography as a solo platform for diagnosing women with dense breast tissue, to increase awareness of the prevalence of women with dense breast tissue who would not benefit from our current standard practice, to increase awareness of the available diagnostic platforms that are capable of distinguishing tumors regardless of breast tissue density with greater sensitivity, to make these diagnostic modalities available and accessible to women at low or no cost (find it early act or through other means), to encourage national, professional organizations to adopt these modalities as part of their recommended guidelines for breast cancerscreening and diagnosis, andto encourage the adoption of these modalities as part of routine follow-up for women with dense breast tissue and/or heightened breast cancer risk.
What it reported doing in 2024
During 2024 the organization worked to increase awareness about issues pertaining to breast cancer screening and diagnosis and to educate women about the importance of knowing their breast tissue density and the implications this may have on the reliability of mammography to detect tumors in dense tissue. The organization sponsored the national breast cancer summit and the women uplifting women expo.
