Abstract excerpt

Mammographic percent density (MD) is recognized as one of the strongest risk factors associated with breast cancer. This matched case-control study investigated whether MD represents an independent risk factor. Mammograms were obtained from 1025 breast cancer patients and from 520 healthy controls. MD was measured using a quantitative computer-based threshold method (0-100%). Breast cancer patients had a higher...
