Independent Association of Lobular Involution and Mammographic Breast Density With Breast Cancer Risk
BACKGROUND Lobular involution, or age-related atrophy of breast lobules, is inversely associated with breast cancer risk, and mammographic breast density (MBD) is positively associated with breast cancer risk. METHODS To evaluate whether lobular involution and MBD are independently associated with breast cancer risk in women with benign breast disease, we performed a nested cohort study among...
متن کاملInvestigating the Factors Affecting the Mammographic Density of Breast Tissue in Patients Referred to the Breast Cancer Research Center, Iran
Introduction: Of the factors leading to false negative results in mammography is breast tissue density, and by increasing the density of breast tissue in mammography, the mammography sensitivity decreases. On the other hand, increasing the breast tissue density leads to increased risk of breast cancer. Various factors such as inheritance, genetics, hormonal and reproductive factors, and nutriti...
متن کاملImperfect correlation of mammographic and clinical breast tissue density.
BACKGROUND Clinicians determine degree of mammographic density based on tissue firmness on breast examination. The study aimed to compare breast density in mammography and clinical breast examination. MATERIALS AND METHODS Six-hundred sixty three women 40 years of age or older were studied. The breast exam density was graded from 1 to 4 by two expert surgeons and the mammographic parenchymal ...

متن کاملLobular involution, mammographic density, and breast cancer risk: visualizing the future?
In this issue of the Journal, Ghosh et al. (1) describe the application of two visual assessments to predict breast cancer risk—lobular involution, a histological observation, and mammographic breast density (MBD), a radiological assessment. Previously, this group has demonstrated that more extensive lobular involution was inversely related to both MBD (2) and breast cancer risk (3) in a cohort...
