Mammographic (breast) density as a potential biomarker for endocrine trial treatment efficacy in breast cancer prevention

open access: yes
Mammographic (breast) density is comprised of the glandular and connective tissues of the breast which appear dense (white) on mammograms, x-rays of the breast.

Mammographic Breast Density and Race

American Journal of Roentgenology, 2007
Women with increased mammographic breast density are known to be at higher risk of developing breast cancer. Reports of differences in breast density by race have implied that genetic and environmental factors may in part determine breast density. We first compared breast density among white, African American, and Asian women and then correlated breast

Racial differences in mammographic breast density

Cancer, 2003
AbstractBACKGROUNDAfrican American women have a lower incidence but a higher mortality from breast carcinoma than Caucasians. A proposed explanation for this discrepancy is the decreased efficacy of screening among African American women. Increased breast density in African American women may result in decreased sensitivity of mammography.

Mammographic Densities and Breast Cancer Risk

Breast Disease, 1998
Variations between individuals in the radiographic appearance, or mammographic pattern, of the female breast arise because of differences in the relative amounts and X-ray attenuation characteristics of fat and connective and epithelial tissue. Studies using quantitative methods of assessment have consistently shown these variations to be strongly ...
