Abstract:
To evaluate the association between having family history of breast cancer and increased breast density. We will determine whether having multiple affected relatives affects the risk of increased breast density and whether this association is modified by the age of diagnosis in the affected relatives (i.e. < 50 or ≥ 50 years).
