Benign breast disease, mammographic breast density, and the risk of breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Benign breast disease and high breast density are prevalent, strong risk factors for breast cancer. Women with both risk factors may be at very high risk. METHODS We included 42818 women participating in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium who had no prior diagnosis of breast cancer and had undergone at least one benign breast biopsy and mammogram; 1359 women developed incide...
متن کاملAge-related changes in mammographic density and breast cancer risk.
High mammographic density is a strong breast cancer risk factor. Density normally declines with aging. We investigated whether the level of decline in mammographic density is related to breast cancer risk using a nested case-control study within the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC)-Prospect cohort. This cohort was recruited among participants of a population-b...

متن کاملAssociation between mammographic breast density and breast cancer tumor characteristics.
OBJECTIVE Few studies have examined the association between breast density and breast cancer tumor characteristics. We examined the association between hormonal, proliferative, and histologic tumor characteristics and mammographic breast density in women with breast cancer. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional analysis in 546 women diagnosed with invasive breast cancer to evaluate the assoc...
متن کاملRacial differences in mammographic breast density.
BACKGROUND African American women have a lower incidence but a higher mortality from breast carcinoma than Caucasians. A proposed explanation for this discrepancy is the decreased efficacy of screening among African American women. Increased breast density in African American women may result in decreased sensitivity of mammography. The purpose of this article is to determine whether there is a...
