Mammographic Density and the Risk and Detection of Breast Cancer

TL;DR: Extensive mammographic density is strongly associated with the risk of breast cancer detected by screening or between screening tests, and a substantial fraction of breast cancers can be attributed to this risk factor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic Performance of Digital versus Film Mammography for Breast-Cancer Screening

TL;DR: The overall diagnostic accuracy of digital and film mammography as a means of screening for breast cancer is similar, but digital mammography is more accurate in women under the age of 50 years, women with radiographically dense breasts, and premenopausal or perimenopausal women.
Journal ArticleDOI

Surveillance of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutation carriers with magnetic resonance imaging, ultrasound, mammography, and clinical breast examination.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the sensitivity and specificity of four methods of breast cancer surveillance (mammography, ultrasound, MRI, and CBE) in women with hereditary susceptibility to breast cancer due to a BRCA1 or BRCa2 mutation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative Classification of Mammographic Densities and Breast Cancer Risk: Results From the Canadian National Breast Screening Study

TL;DR: Increases in the level of breast tissue density as assessed by mammography are associated with increases in risk for breast cancer, and these results show that increases in theLevel of breast cancer risk associated with increasing mammographic density is shown.
