TLDR
A classification of risk for developing breast cancer has been devised based solely on the appearance of the breast parenchyma by mammography by reviewing the mammograms of all women over the age of 30 who had been examined at Hutzel Hospital, Detroit.Abstract:
A classification of risk for developing breast cancer has been devised based solely on the appearance of the breast parenchyma by mammography. Four groups of patients were isolated. The study encompassed a five-year period and was done by reviewing the mammograms of all women over the age of 30 who had been examined at Hutzel Hospital, Detroit. The average time of followup would be approximately 2 1/2 years. Four groups had an incidence of developing breast cancer of 0.1, 0.4, 1.7, and 2.2. These parenchymal patterns are described and criteria for their identification are given.read more

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.

Breast Density and Parenchymal Patterns as Markers of Breast Cancer Risk: A Meta-analysis
TL;DR: This review explains some of the heterogeneity in associations of breast density with breast cancer risk and shows that, in well-conducted studies, this is one of the strongest risk factors for breast cancer.

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.

A Study of Breast Parenchyma by Mammography In the Normal Woman and Those with Benign and Malignant Disease
TL;DR: There is a difference of only a slight degree between the woman with clinically apparent mammary dysplasia such as adenosis and fibrocystic disease and the “normal” and that the abnormalities are developmental, with their highest incidence in the late teens and early twenties.
