Mammographic Breast Density and Race
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2007Women 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

Mammographic Density and Breast Cancer Screening
Climacteric, 2020Mammographic density, which is determined by the relative amounts of fibroglandular tissue and fat in the breast, varies between women. Mammographic density is associated with a range of factors, including age and body mass index. The description of mammographic density has been transformed by the digitalization of mammography, which has allowed ...

Automated analysis of mammographic densities
Physics in Medicine and Biology, 1996Information derived from mammographic parenchymal patterns provides one of the strongest indicators of the risk of developing breast cancer. To address several limitations of subjective classification of mammographic parenchyma into coarse density categories, we have been investigating more quantitative, objective methods of analysing the film-screen ...

Medication use and mammographic breast density
Breast Cancer Research and Treatment, 2021A dense breast on mammogram is a strong risk factor for breast cancer. Identifying factors that reduce mammographic breast density could thus provide insight into breast cancer prevention. Due to the limited number of studies and conflicting findings, we investigated the associations of medication use (specifically statins, aspirin, and ibuprofen) with

Hormones and mammographic breast density
Maturitas, 2004Mammographic density reveals information about the hormonal environment along with the heritability in which breast cancer develops. This is made possible by the widespread use of population screening by mammography. Increasingly this is an important observation not just for population studies, which reveal disease determinants, but also for the ...

Education and mammographic breast density
Breast Cancer Research and TreatmentThere are conflicting reports on the associations of education with mammographic breast density (MBD). To address this, we investigated the associations of education with MBD and additionally determined if and to what extent this association is mediated by known confounders such as age and adiposity.Women (n = 1155) were recruited during their annual ...

Mammographic Density and Breast Cancer Characteristics
2014The aim of this research is to investigate, in a screening population, the relationship between mammographic density and tumour characteristics including size, invasiveness and mammographic features. Mammograms of 105 women with screen detected breast cancer were analysed; 111 lesions were identified. Volumetric density measurements were obtained using

Mammographic Densities and Breast Cancer Risk
Breast Disease, 1998Variations 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 ...

Racial differences in mammographic breast density
Cancer, 2003AbstractBACKGROUNDAfrican 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.
