More Education Needed on Breast Density and Screening Choices
Women largely do not know breast density ups risk for breast cancer even in U.S. states with notification.
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Dense Breast Notifications May Not Be Having Intended Impact
Few differences seen between women residing in states that require notifications and those who do not.
Fewer Interval Cancers Diagnosed With Supplemental MRI for Dense Breasts
Use of supplemental MRI results in diagnosis of fewer interval cancers than mammography alone.
Deep Learning Algorithm Can Identify Mammographic Breast Density
Researchers conducted a retrospective study to develop a DL algorithm to assess mammographic breast density.
Should Increased Breast Density Dictate More Breast Cancer Screenings?
Pros and cons of increased breast cancer screening in women with dense breasts are presented by experts.
Higher Cancer Rates Confirmed in Women With Dense Breasts
Higher rate of recall, lower sensitivity, larger tumor diameter, and more lymph node-positive disease observed in women with dense breasts.
Factoring in Breast Density Improves Long-Term Risk Models for Breast Cancer
A study using a cohort of women from Kaiser Permanente Washington evaluated the accuracy of risk assessment models for breast cancer that included classic risk factors with and without breast density as an additional factor during more than 10 years of follow-up.
Imaging Management of Breast Density, a Controversial Risk Factor for Breast Cancer
[Cancer Control] This research reviews the evidence regarding breast density as a risk factor for the development of breast cancer and presents a management strategy for screening women with dense breasts.
Vitamin D3 Supplementation Has No Impact on Breast Density Percentage, Breast Cancer Risk
Supplementation with vitamin D3 in premenopausal women does not have a significant effect on breast density percentage, nor does it reduce breast cancer risk.
Mammographic Breast Density Correlates With Risk of Primary, Contralateral Breast Cancer
High mammographic breast density is a risk factor for primary breast cancer. In this study, a potential correlation with contralateral breast cancer was investigated.
