Benign ovarian cysts have been suggested to influence breast cancer risk. To provide a comprehensive picture of the relation between ovarian cysts and breast cancer, we analyzed the data of 3 case-control studies conducted in northern Italy and the Swiss Canton of Vaud between 1983 and 2001. The...
BREAST, CYSTSPURPOSE: To evaluate the natural history of nonpalpable interval breast cysts detected at mammography and diagnosed at sonography in an asymptomatic female population. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The imaging records of 5,000 consecutive patients (aged 35-77 years [mean, 51 years]...
