Purpose: To determine: (i) the mammographic parenchymal patterns in Malaysian women and whether the breasts are dense on mammogram; (ii) the effect of age on breast density; (iii) the effect of…

Mammographic densities and breast cancer risk.

M Mammographically dense breast tissue differs from most other breast cancer risk factors in the strength of the associated relative and attributable risks for breast cancer, and because it can be changed by hormonal and dietary interventions.

Mammographic breast glandularity in Malaysian women: data derived from radiography.

No significant difference was seen in breast glandularity among the ethnic groups (p > 0.05, Kruskal-Wallis test) and Breast glandularity was found to decrease with breast thickness and age.

This study shows that higher percent density and lower nondense area reflect the higher incidence of breast cancer in Chinese compared to Malay and Indian women in Malaysia.

Mammographic density and the risk and detection of breast cancer.

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.
