Senators Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif) and Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) have introduced breast density legislation aimed at improving breast cancer screening for women. Representatives Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn) and Steve Israel (NY) have introduced related legislation in the House.
Under the Breast Density and Mammography Reporting Act, providers would be required to include breast density information in mammogram reports, allowing women to discuss with their doctors whether they should pursue additional screening. Though several states have passed similar mandates, no federal requirement currently exists.
