Mammographic 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 کاملMammographic Density Estimation with Automated Volumetric Breast Density Measurement
OBJECTIVE To compare automated volumetric breast density measurement (VBDM) with radiologists' evaluations based on the Breast Imaging Reporting and Data System (BI-RADS), and to identify the factors associated with technical failure of VBDM. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, 1129 women aged 19-82 years who underwent mammography from December 2011 to January 2012 were included. Breast dens...
متن کاملMammographic density and breast cancer risk: evaluation of a novel method of measuring breast tissue volumes.
BACKGROUND Mammographic density has been found to be strongly associated with risk of breast cancer. We have assessed a novel method of assessing breast tissue that is fully automated, does not require an observer, and measures the volume, rather than the projected area, of the relevant tissues in digitized screen-film mammogram. METHODS Sixteen mammography machines in seven locations in Toro...
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...
متن کاملBenign breast disease, mammographic breast density, and the risk of breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Benign breast disease and high breast density are prevalent, strong risk factors for breast cancer. Women with both risk factors may be at very high risk. METHODS We included 42818 women participating in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium who had no prior diagnosis of breast cancer and had undergone at least one benign breast biopsy and mammogram; 1359 women developed incide...
