Mammographic Breast Density as a risk Factor for Ovarian cancer
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods We conducted a cohort study of 724 603 women aged 40 to 79 years with 2 506 732 mammograms participating in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium from 1995 to 2009. Incident epithelial ovarian cancer was diagnosed in 1373 women. We used partly conditional Cox regression to estimate the association between breast density and 5-year risk of incident epithelial ovarian cancer overall and stratified by 10-year age group. All statistical tests were two-sided.

Investigating 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 کاملInvestigation of mammographic breast density as a risk factor for ovarian cancer.
BACKGROUND Endogenous hormones and growth factors that increase mammographic breast density could increase ovarian cancer risk. We examined whether high breast density is associated with ovarian cancer risk. METHODS We conducted a cohort study of 724,603 women aged 40 to 79 years with 2,506,732 mammograms participating in the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium from 1995 to 2009. Incident e...
متن کاملMammographic density as a risk factor for breast cancer in a low risk population.
BACKGROUND Mammographic density is a function of abundance of epithelial and connective tissue in breast. It has been identified as an independent risk factor for breast cancer in studies in western populations. We conducted a case control study to evaluate the role of mammographic density as risk factor for the development of breast cancer in Indian patients. METHODS One hundred and one case...
متن کاملMammographic density--a risk factor for breast cancer.
The mammographic density belongs to risk factors for breast cancer. The increased density enhances the risk of interval breast cancers and it also increases the number of false negative as well as false positive results of the mammography. The increase in the mammographic density during the hormone replacement therapy is not identical with the enhanced mammographic density, which is a risk fact...
