Hormone replacement therapy, percent mammographic density, and sensitivity of mammography.
OBJECTIVE We examine to what extent the lower mammographic sensitivity found in hormone replacement therapy (HRT) users can be explained by any association of HRT use with higher mammographic density and more difficult to detect cancers. METHODS We used logistic regression to estimate the odds of a false-negative screen (a breast cancer diagnosed in the 24 months after a negative screening ex...
متن کاملInfluence of patterns of hormone replacement therapy use and mammographic density on breast cancer detection.
BACKGROUND There is evidence that factors such as current hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use and mammographic density may each lower the sensitivity of mammography and are associated with a greater risk of developing an interval cancer. This study explores this relationship further by examining the influence of patterns of HRT use and the percentage of mammographic density on the detection o...
متن کاملMammographic density increase in women receiving different hormone replacement regimens.
OBJECTIVE we investigated effects of different regimens of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) on mammographic density. METHODS ninety-five postmenopausal women, who were on different HRT regimens and completed their 4-year mammographic follow-up, were included into this retrospective and comparative study. Twenty-three of these women, who had surgical menopause, received conjugated equine estr...
متن کاملCase-control study of increased mammographic breast density response to hormone replacement therapy.
Previous studies have demonstrated an association between current hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use and increased mammographic breast density. Many of these studies have also shown that only 20-35% of women initiating HRT respond in this manner. This subgroup of HRT responders may be at an increased risk of breast cancer. We performed a case-control study to investigate how women who experi...
متن کاملAssessment of mammographic density changes on plain film mammograms in postmenopausal women on hormone replacement therapy.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Mammographic screening is an effective tool for the early detection of breast cancer. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) has been shown to increase mammographic density and thus may hinder early detection of small tumours. We undertook this study to determine and compare the frequency and degree of change in mammographic density in postmenopausal women in HRT using two di...
