<p>The UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) is aware of the growing interest in
issues related to screening women with dense breast tissue in the National Health
Service breast screening programme. In 2019, the UK NSC reviewed the benefit of additional
screening with ultrasound after a negative mammography screening, for women with dense
breasts. The Committee concluded that there was insufficient evidence to recommend
additional screening at that time.</p><p>We are aware of the Breast Screening Risk
Adaptive Imaging for Density trial which is investigating the use of supplementary
imaging techniques for women within the standard breast screening programme who are
found to have radiographically dense breast tissue. The UK NSC will review this evidence
when it becomes available.</p>
