Mammographic breast density, dense area, and breast area differences by phase in the menstrual cycle.
BACKGROUND Mammographic breast density may be greater in the luteal phase (days 15-30) than the follicular phase (days 1-14) of the menstrual cycle; this may have implications for when mammography screening should occur. OBJECTIVE Examine whether percent breast density, breast area, or dense area differ by menstrual phase. METHODS We identified 204 premenopausal women with regular periods w...
متن کاملDense and nondense mammographic area and risk of breast cancer by age and tumor characteristics.
BACKGROUND Mammographic density (MD) is a strong breast cancer risk factor. We previously reported associations of percent mammographic density (PMD) with larger and node-positive tumors across all ages, and estrogen receptor (ER)-negative status among women ages <55 years. To provide insight into these associations, we examined the components of PMD [dense area (DA) and nondense area (NDA)] wi...

متن کاملDeterminants of percentage and area measures of mammographic density.
Mammographic density is one of the strongest predictors of breast cancer risk. Typically expressed as a percentage of the breast area occupied by radiologically dense tissue on a mammogram, its full value may not be realized because of its negative association with body mass index. A simpler measure of mammographic density, independent of other breast cancer risk factors and equally predictive ...
