Impact of menopause and age on breast density and background parenchymal enhancement in dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging
We highlight the dynamic impact of menopause on BD and BPE and correlate well with the known relationship between risk and age at menopause. These findings advance the understanding of imaging biomarkers in high-risk populations and may contribute to the development of improved risk assessment leading to personalized chemoprevention and BC screening recommendations.
