Breast Density is Important
Breast density has been linked to reduced x-ray sensitivity, cancer risk, effects of drugs and the likelihood of cancer recurrence.
Breast density is difficult to assess accurately by eye, with large variations between readers and a lack of precision which means populations can only be crudely differentiated and change over time cannot easily be assessed.
