Cases were matched to three controls with two successive negative screens by age, year of mammogram, BMI, parity, menopausal status and HRT use. Mammographic density was measured by VolparaTM. There was a significant reduction in percentage density in the affected breast for cases 5.2 to 4.8i¾?%, pi¾?
