The relationship between bone mineral density and mammographic density in Korean women: the Healthy Twin study.

Breast cancer research and treatment - 1 Sept 2011

Sung Joohon, Song Yun-Mi, Stone Jennifer, Lee Kayoung

Abstract excerpt

Mammographic density is one of the strong risk factors for breast cancer. A potential mechanism for this association is that cumulative exposure to mammographic density may reflect cumulative exposure to hormones that stimulate cell division in breast stroma and epithelium, which may have corresponding effects on breast cancer development. Bone mineral density (BMD), a marker of lifetime estrogen exposure, has...
