Greatly increased occurrence of breast cancers in areas of mammographically dense tissue
INTRODUCTION: Mammographic density is a strong, independent risk factor for breast cancer. A critical unanswered question is whether cancers tend to arise in mammographically dense tissue (i.e. are densities directly related to risk or are they simply a marker of risk). This question cannot be addre...
