A nested case-control study of mammographic patterns, breast volume, and breast cancer (New York City, NY, United States).

摘要: The relations of Wolfe mammographic patterns, quantitative densities, and mammographically estimated breast size to cancer risk were investigated prospectively in a case-control study nested the New York University Women's Health Study, cohort 14,291 women City, NY (United States). archived mammograms 197 cases who identified during first 5.5 years 521 individually matched controls from same retrieved classified according parenchymal patterns densities by two expert radiologists. Breast volume on mammogram's cranio-caudal projection. In both premenopausal postmenopausal subjects, increased progressively with increasing density percent area. A significantly was found also for pattern DY P2 subjects. women, determined height associated positively risk. Although results present confirmed that important predictors risk, their practical use screening seems limited due high prevalence patterns.
