Influence of lifestyle factors on mammographic density in postmenopausal women. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND:Mammographic density is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. Apart from hormone replacement therapy (HRT), little is known about lifestyle factors that influence breast density.

Mammographic densities and risk of breast cancer [PDF]

Cancer, 1991
To determine the relation of mammographic densities to subsequent breast cancer risk, a case-control study was undertaken using prediagnostic mammograms of screening program participants. Mammograms of cases (n = 266) and controls (n = 301) were blindly assessed for mammographic densities, which were measured by planimetry.

Involution of breast tissue and mammographic density [PDF]

Breast Cancer Research, 2016
Mammographic density decreases and involution of breast tissue increases with age; both are thought to be risk factors for breast cancer. The current study investigated the relationship between involution or hormone treatment (HT) and breast density among multiethnic patients with breast cancer in Hawaii.Patients with breast cancer cases were recruited

Sex steroids, growth factors and mammographic density: a cross-sectional study of UK postmenopausal Caucasian and Afro-Caribbean women. [PDF]

, 2009
INTRODUCTION: Sex steroids, insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and prolactin are breast cancer risk factors but whether their effects are mediated through mammographic density, one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer, is unknown.

Mammographic Density Reduction is Associated to the Prognosis in Asian Breast Cancer Patients Receiving Hormone Therapy

Cancer Control, 2023
Introduction Using mammographic density as a significant biomarker for predicting prognosis in adjuvant hormone therapy patients is controversial due to the conflicting results of recent studies.

The association of breast mitogens with mammographic densities [PDF]

British Journal of Cancer, 2002
Radiologically dense breast tissue (mammographic density) is strongly associated with risk of breast cancer, but the biological basis for this association is unknown. In this study we have examined the association of circulating levels of hormones and growth factors with mammographic density.

Mammographic density and physical assessment of the breast [PDF]

American Journal of Roentgenology, 1987
We studied the relationship between the radiographic density of the breast as measured by parenchymal pattern vs age, breast size, thickness after compression, and compressibility. Two hundred consecutive women were evaluated. None of the three parameters or the patient's age correlated with the degree of radiographic density. Although more older women

Dietary calcium and vitamin D intakes in childhood and throughout adulthood and mammographic density in a British birth cohort. [PDF]

, 2008
We examined the role of dietary calcium and vitamin D intakes in childhood and throughout adulthood in relation to mammographic density using data from a nationally representative cohort of 1161 women followed up since their birth in 1946.

Mammographic density and inter-observer variability of pathologic evaluation of core biopsies among women with mammographic abnormalities

BMC Cancer, 2012
Background As high percentage of mammographic densities complicates the assessment of imaging findings, mammographic density may influence the histopathological evaluation of core-biopsies of the breast.
