The Impact of Dense Breasts on the Stage of Breast Cancer at Diagnosis: A Review and Options for Supplemental Screening

Current Oncology, 2022
The purpose of breast cancer screening is to find cancers early to reduce mortality and to allow successful treatment with less aggressive therapy. Mammography is the gold standard for breast cancer screening.

Low-dose acetylsalicylic acid reduces local inflammation and tissue perfusion in dense breast tissue in postmenopausal women [PDF]

Breast Cancer Research
Purpose One major risk factor for breast cancer is high mammographic density. It has been estimated that dense breast tissue contributes to ~ 30% of all breast cancer.

Imaging the dense breast

Journal of Surgical Oncology
The sensitivity of mammography reduces as breast density increases, which impacts breast screening and locoregional staging in breast cancer. Supplementary imaging with other modalities can offer improved cancer detection, but this often comes at the ...

Breast cancer screening in women with extremely dense breasts recommendations of the European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) [PDF]

European Radiology, 2022
Breast density is an independent risk factor for the development of breast cancer and also decreases the sensitivity of mammography for screening. Consequently, women with extremely dense breasts face an increased risk of late diagnosis of breast cancer.

Supplemental Breast MRI for Women with Extremely Dense Breasts: Results of the Second Screening Round of the DENSE Trial. [PDF]

Radiology, 2021
Background In the first (prevalent) supplemental MRI screening round of the Dense Tissue and Early Breast Neoplasm Screening (DENSE) trial, a considerable number of breast cancers were found at the cost of an increased false-positive rate (FPR).

Equal Pro-inflammatory Profiles of CCLs, CXCLs, and Matrix Metalloproteinases in the Extracellular Microenvironment In Vivo in Human Dense Breast Tissue and Breast Cancer

Frontiers in Immunology, 2018
The inflammatory microenvironment affects breast cancer progression. Proteins that govern the inflammatory response are secreted into the extracellular space, but this compartment still needs to be characterized in human breast tissues in vivo.

Comparative study between contrast-enhanced mammography, tomosynthesis, and breast ultrasound as complementary techniques to mammography in dense breast parenchyma

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2020
Background Mammography is accused of having low sensitivity and specificity in dense breast parenchyma. Also, women with dense breasts show an increased risk of developing breast cancer.

Abbreviated breast MRI for screening women with dense breast: the EA1141 trial. [PDF]

Br J Radiol, 2018
Early diagnosis improves survival of females with breast cancer. Mammographic screening improves early diagnosis of breast cancer. And yet, there appears to be room for improvement.

Breast cancer detection across dense and non-dense breasts: Markers of diagnostic confidence and efficacy [PDF]

Acta Radiologica Open, 2022
Background The impact of radiologists’ characteristics has become a major focus of recent research. However, the markers of diagnostic efficacy and confidence in dense and non-dense breasts are poorly understood.
