Ethnic Differences in Mammographic Densities: An Asian Cross-Sectional Study
BACKGROUND Mammographic density is a strong risk factor for breast cancer and is highly variable, but, to date, few studies have examined density in Asian women, particularly those in low and middle-income Asian countries where genetic and lifestyle determinants may be significantly different. METHODS A total of 1,240 women who attended an opportunistic mammogram screening programme were elig...
متن کاملTamoxifen and mammographic breast densities.
The extent of breast tissue density on mammograms is one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer. The aim of this analysis was to evaluate whether tamoxifen can affect mammographic breast density. Subjects were participants in the National Surgical Adjuvant Breast Project Breast Cancer Prevention Trial (BCPT), recruited and followed at the Breast Center of Saint-Sacrement Hospital in Qu...
متن کاملThe detection of changes in mammographic densities.
We previously reported reductions in mammographic densities in women participating in a trial of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHA)-based regimen for breast cancer prevention. In our previous report, we compared (by simultaneous evaluation) three basic elements of mammographic densities. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether a standard (expert) method of measuri...
متن کاملVitamin D, calcium, and mammographic breast densities.
Vitamin D and calcium are being evaluated as potential breast cancer prevention agents. This study reports on the relation of dietary vitamin D and calcium to mammographic breast densities, one of the strongest breast cancer risk factors. Participants were women ages 40 to 60 years who had had a screening mammogram in Rhode Island and eastern Massachusetts (1989-1990). Diet was assessed by semi...
متن کاملPlasma lipids, lipoproteins, and mammographic densities.
There is strong evidence that the risk of breast cancer in populations is influenced by environmental factors. Plasma lipids and lipoproteins are known to be under environmental control and to have epidemiological and/or biological characteristics that suggest they may be relevant to breast cancer risk. The purpose of the study described here was to determine whether plasma lipids, lipoproteins...
