Objectives Mammographic density is a well-defined risk factor for breast cancer and having
extremely dense breast tissue is associated with a one-to six-fold increased risk of breast …

Variations in percent mammographic density (PMD) reflect variations in the amounts of
collagen and number of epithelial and non-epithelial cells in the breast. Extensive PMD is …

Background Extensive mammographic density is associated with an increased risk of breast
cancer and makes the detection of cancer by mammography difficult, but the influence of …

Mammographic features are associated with breast cancer risk, but estimates of the strength
of the association vary markedly between studies, and it is uncertain whether the association …

Background Mammographically dense breast tissue is one of the greatest risk factors for
developing breast carcinoma. Despite the strong clinical correlation, breast density has not …

OBJECTIVE. Breast density is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for the
development of breast cancer, because it has been shown to be associated with a four-to …

The notion that cell shape and spreading can regulate cell proliferation has evolved over
several years, but only recently has this been linked to forces from within and upon the cell …

Breast cancer mortality is declining in most high-income countries. The role of
mammography screening in these declines is much debated. Screening impacts cancer …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) degrade and modify the extracellular matrix (ECM) as
well as cell-ECM and cell-cell contacts, facilitating detachment of epithelial cells from the …

The objective of this study was to outline the biological pathways of alcohol‐attributable
breast cancer, the epidemiological risk relationship between alcohol consumption and …
