than the risk of getting either a second breast cancer, or developing breast cancer. so we then want to weigh the risks and the benefits. tamoxifen did increase the women's chances of three rare but life-threatening health problems... one of which was endometrial cancer. but the incidence of this occuring was quite small. dr. ganz: there's still critics... who are concerned about the drug, and... they can certainly raise their questions. but i think there's no question that we looked at the safety and efficacy of tamoxifen, and found that in fact, it did reduce the risk of breast cancer. women may take that information now, and decide that they want to be treated, or they may say, "gee, you know... it's still uncertain, and i don't want to do that." the challenges of treatment, the uncertainties of the disease, are difficult for any cancer patient to endure. ms. coscarelli: cancer, because it's a life threatening illness, comes with it a whole host of psychological issues that are presented or existential issues that come up as a result of a cancer diagnosis. and i th

rate the cancer from the normal breast tissue and a third of women with breast cancer and dense breastsave normal mammograms. with i need another toll and this is exactly that tool. it's using ultrasound which increases the contrast between a breast cancer and dense breast tissue. and in the study there was 25% additional cancer detection in women with dense breasts who had screening ultra sounds. >> you have ultra sounds in your arsenal, what make this is different? >> that's a great question. it takes about a half hour to do the entire exam. so it's not something that we can integrate into the screenings environment but now we have a quick easy efficient way with less callbacks, less false positives to be able to find the otherwise hidden cancers, so we know the cancers are smaller in screening and are curable cancers but clinically significant cancers. so this gives us the opportunity to find them, treat theme and cure women. very exciting. >> two things you mentioned about false positives and the callbacks and we've been doing stories about that and faulty mammography for allowing t

when we talk about breasts, it's not all about breast cancer. so at health magazine we wanted to break down the most common complaints. let's start with a little tutorial. you're starting first with the fat content. about one-third of our breast is consisting of fat that can change depending on when you gain or lose weight or also what age you're at. as we tend to get older we have more fat in our breasts. >> and we have connective tissue. >> exactly. this is the stronger, denser tissue that gives firmness to the breast and that does tend to decrease a little bit as we age. it's also hormone sensitive. during parts of your cycle you may feel more tender because of that tissue. >> the specific connective tissue called cooper's ligaments? >> think of these as the ropes holding your breasts in place. kind of like an internal bra. it's a dense, elastic type of tissue and it's keeping things firmed up. >> lobbials? >> these are the small sections of the breast that contain the milk producing ducts. we all have the capacity to produce milk even if we'

moving in an arc along the breast it shows very fine breast slices at slightly different angles. the reconstructed images look like a hol gram. >> reporter: the area in this area is in question. it is awfully difficult to detect it. it is much easier to see this lesion in the breast on the three-dimensional image. it exists right here. >> dr. greenburg says this is especially good at detecting small invasive cancer that his wouldn't be felt through a breast self exam or a clinical exam. >> if we can detect these early small invasive cancers, they can be cured. the patients can be taken care of at an earlier point and the you can assess for long-term cure of cancer is very great and this technology is very important helping us accomplish that goal. >> 3-d mammography is good for all women. especially beneficial for women with dense breasts. being able to clearly distinguish between a cancer and noncancerous lesion will eliminate the number of false positives and patient call backs. washington radiologist associates is the first facility in our area to offer the 3-d test. washingto

. >>> for women with dense breast tissue, mammograms don't always give a clear picture of breast healthsome studies show they miss nearly 45% of tissue. but women may benefit by a new screening tool. >> this is developed right here. the fda is now considering whether to approve the widespread use of 3-d ultrasound. >> if we stop with the mammogram, i would have just gone home, telling you're okay for another year. >> lucky, she didn't stop with a mammogram. as part of a trial, she received this 3-d ultrasound and learned there was a tumor. it was detected by an automated ultrasou ultrasound. an advisory panel recently recommended the fda approve the breast ultrasound to be used in combination with mammograms in women who have dense breast tissue. 80% of women have dense breast, can which increases the risk of breast cancer and makes it tough for r radiologists to identify tumors. >> our clinical trials have shown more than 25% improvement in detecting cancers in women with dense breast tissue and these were missed with mammography. >> because dense tissue shows up white in a mammogram,
