Longitudinal history of mammographic breast density and breast cancer risk by familial risk, menopausal status, and initial mammographic density level in a high risk cohort: a nest... by Parisa Tehranifar, Erica J. Lee Argov, Shweta Athilat, Yuyan Liao, Ying Wei, Alexandra J. White, Katie M. O’Brien, Dale P. Sandler, Mary Beth Terry

“…However, the contribution of longitudinal changes in mammographic density to breast cancer risk beyond initial mammographic density levels, considering familial breast cancer risk and menopausal status, remains uncertain but holds important clinical implications. Methods In a nested case–control study within the Sister Study (323 cases, 899 controls; 12,095 mammograms), a cohort enriched for family history of breast cancer, we examined case–control status in relation to the largest annual change in percent density and dense area using mammograms available spanning 5.4 years, on average, using multivariable logistic regression and to the rate of mammographic density change using linear mixed-effects models. …”
