Changes In Breast Density May Impact Breast Cancer Risk
Changes in breast density within a three year period may impact breast cancer risk, according to a new study. The two measurements of breast density needed to calculate that change may better predict a woman’s risk of breast cancer than a single measurement.High breast density is a strong predictor of breast cancer risk, but researchers did not know whether changes in breast density over time would affect this risk.
