Investigating the prognostic value of mammographic breast density and mammographic tumor appearance in women with invasive breast cancer: The Malmö Diet and cancer study [PDF]

Breast, 2023
Background: High breast density is a risk factor for breast cancer. However, whether density is a prognostic factor is debatable. Also, tumor appearances are related to tumor characteristics.

Factors associated with mammographic breast density among women in Karachi Pakistan [PDF]

BMC Women's Health, 2021
Background There are no studies done to evaluate the distribution of mammographic breast density and factors associated with it among Pakistani women. Methods Participants included 477 women, who had received either diagnostic or screening mammography at

Longitudinal history of mammographic breast density and breast cancer risk by familial risk, menopausal status, and initial mammographic density level in a high risk cohort: a nested case–control study [PDF]

Breast Cancer Research
Background Elevated mammographic density is associated with increased breast cancer risk. However, the contribution of longitudinal changes in mammographic density to breast cancer risk beyond initial mammographic density levels, considering familial ...

Pathological macroscopic evaluation of breast density versus mammographic breast density in breast cancer conserving surgery [PDF]

European Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology and Reproductive Biology: X, 2023
Correlation between imaging and anatomopathological breast density has been superficially explored and is heterogeneous in current medical literature. It is possible that mammographic and pathological findings are divergent.

Mammographic breast density and the risk of breast cancer: A systematic review and meta-analysis [PDF]

Breast, 2022
Objectives: Mammographic density is a well-defined risk factor for breast cancer and having extremely dense breast tissue is associated with a one-to six-fold increased risk of breast cancer. However, it is questioned whether this increased risk estimate

Mammographic breast density status in women aged more than 40 years in Sulaimaniyah, Iraq: a cross-sectional study [PDF]

Journal of International Medical Research, 2022
Objective Mammography is the gold standard screening procedure for the early diagnosis of breast cancer. This study aimed to determine the distribution of breast density among women older than 40 years in Sulaimaniyah, Iraq, and to examine the ...

Associations of age, body mass index, and breast size with mammographic breast density in Korean women [PDF]

Journal of Medicine and Life Science, 2023
We aimed (a) to investigate the associations between age, body mass index (BMI), and breast size with mammographic density based on the breast imaging reporting and data system (BI-RADS) and volumetric breast density measurement (VBDM) with Volpara, (b ...

Low density mammography is associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness in middle aged premenopausal women [PDF]

International Archives of Health Sciences, 2023
Objectives: As the hormonal status of women does influence both mammographic breast density and atherosclerosis, the aim of the study was to evaluate the association between breast density on mammography and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT).Methods:

Correlation of mammographic density and breast cancer characteristics

Advanced Medical Journal, 2022
Background and objective: Mammographic density is regarded as one of the most prevalent risk factors for developing breast cancer. However, there is limited data on its relationship with tumor characteristics. Therefore, this study has been conducted to

Mammary collagen architecture and its association with mammographic density and lesion severity among women undergoing image-guided breast biopsy

Breast Cancer Research, 2021
Background Elevated mammographic breast density is a strong breast cancer risk factor with poorly understood etiology. Increased deposition of collagen, one of the main fibrous proteins present in breast stroma, has been associated with increased ...
