Furthermore, breast density is inversely correlated with the accuracy of mammography and therefore a measurement of density conveys information on the difficulty of detecting cancer in a mammogram. In a previous study, we found that 68 % of women with primary infertility had dense breast tissue ...
High mammographic breast density (MBD) is a strong risk factor for breast cancer development, but the biological mechanisms underlying MBD are unclear. Lipids play important roles in cell differentiation, and perturbations in lipid metabolism are implica

Administration (FDA) standardizes the information patients receive from their mammogram providers about their breast density.

Adjusting for year of index mammogram also did not change the results (Additional file 1: Table S5). We estimated the prevalence of elevated breast density and overweight/obesity in the US population using a population-based database of over 1.1 million women undergoing mammography screening in ...
