Expression levels of uridine 5'-diphospho- glucuronosyltransferase genes in breast tissue from healthy women are associated with mammographic density
2010
Introduction
Mammographic density (MD), as assessed from film screen mammograms, is determined by the relative content of adipose, connective and epithelial tissue in the female breast. In epidemiological studies, a high percentage of MD confers a four to six fold risk elevation of developing breast cancer, even after adjustment for other known breast cancer risk factors. However, the biologic correlates of density are little known.
