Longitudinal trends in mammographic percent density and breast cancer risk.
BACKGROUND Mammographic density is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. However, whether changes in mammographic density are associated with risk remains unclear. MATERIALS AND METHODS A study of 372 incident breast cancer cases and 713 matched controls was conducted within the Mayo Clinic mammography screening practice. Controls were matched on age, exam date, residence, menopause, interv...
متن کاملMammographic breast density, endocrine therapies, and breast cancer risk
MBD and breast cancer risk Elevated MBD is considered one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer regardless of whether it is assessed as a categorical or quantitative measure.6 Women in the highest categories of breast density have a 4to 6-fold increased breast cancer risk compared with women in the lowest categories. MBD has been shown to be a stronger risk factor for breast cancer th...
متن کاملLongitudinal measurement of clinical mammographic breast density to improve estimation of breast cancer risk.
BACKGROUND Whether a change over time in clinically measured mammographic breast density influences breast cancer risk is unknown. METHODS From January 1993 to December 2003, data that included American College of Radiology Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS) breast density categories (1-4 in order of increasing density) were collected prospectively on 301,955 women aged 30 and...
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 کاملMammographic density and the risk and detection of breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Extensive mammographic density is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer and makes the detection of cancer by mammography difficult, but the influence of density on risk according to method of cancer detection is unknown. METHODS We carried out three nested case-control studies in screened populations with 1112 matched case-control pairs. We examined the association of ...
