Recently, it has been suggested that reactive oxygen species may influence breast cancer risk through its influence on mammographic density. In the current study, we addressed this hypothesis and also assessed if the association between carotenoids and breast cancer risk varies by mammographic density. We conducted a...

متن کاملMammographic breast density response to aromatase inhibition.
PURPOSE Mammographic breast density (MBD) is decreased by tamoxifen, but the effect of aromatase inhibitors is less clear. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We enrolled early-stage postmenopausal patients with breast cancer initiating adjuvant aromatase inhibitor therapy and ascertained mammograms before and at an average 10 months of aromatase inhibitor therapy. We matched cases to healthy postmenopausal ...
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...
