Dense Breasts -- and why cancer risk is TOTALLY misunderstood | Felice Gersh, MD

A study recently came out showing that women don't understand the risks associated with dense breasts. This is the least surprising thing ever since most doctors don't either.

Watch for my latest Instagram live at   / dr.felicegersh   I am a full time practicing doctor. I see patients in my office in Irvine, CA and worldwide via telemedicine.
