Exploring Dense Breast Density in Mammography: A Comparative Analysis of Breast Cancer Risk
Efforts and resources should be focused on patients with extremely dense breasts, emphasizing the importance of additional (individualized) screening. Breast density could change the PPV within each BI-RADS category. However, further studies are needed to define the risk associated with each breast density subcategory and within BI-RADS categories, as well as to assess the efficacy of additional screening in patients with extremely dense breasts.
