The heritability of mammographically dense and nondense breast tissue.
BACKGROUND Percent mammographic density (PMD) is a risk factor for breast cancer. Our previous twin study showed that the heritability of PMD was 63%. This study determined the heritabilities of the components of PMD, the areas of dense and nondense tissue in the mammogram. METHODS We combined two twin studies comprising 571 monozygous and 380 dizygous twin pairs recruited from Australia and ...
متن کاملSupplementary Screening Sonography in Mammographically Dense Breast: Pros and Cons
Sonography is an attractive supplement to mammography in breast cancer screening because it is relatively inexpensive, requires no contrast-medium injection, is well tolerated by patients, and is widely available for equipment as compared with MRI. Sonography has been especially valuable for women with mammographically dense breast because it has consistently been able to detect a substantial n...
متن کاملPrevalence of mammographically dense breasts in the United States.
BACKGROUND National legislation is under consideration that would require women with mammographically dense breasts to be informed of their breast density and encouraged to discuss supplemental breast cancer screening with their health care providers. The number of US women potentially affected by this legislation is unknown. METHODS We determined the mammographic breast density distribution ...
متن کاملOn strongly dense submodules
The submodules with the property of the title ( a submodule $N$ of an $R$-module $M$ is called strongly dense in $M$, denoted by $Nleq_{sd}M$, if for any index set $I$, $prod _{I}Nleq_{d}prod _{I}M$) are introduced and fully investigated. It is shown that for each submodule $N$ of $M$ there exists the smallest subset $D'subseteq M$ such that $N+D'$ is a strongly dense submodule of $M$ and $D'bi...
متن کاملA tumor specific antibody to aid breast cancer screening in women with dense breast tissue
Screening for breast cancer has predominantly been done using mammography. Unfortunately, mammograms miss 50% cancers in women with dense breast tissue. Multi-modal screenings offer the best chance of enhancing breast cancer screening effectiveness. We evaluated the use of TAB004, an antibody that recognizes the tumor form of the glycoprotein MUC1 (tMUC1), to aid early detection of breast cance...
