Patterns in Breast Tissue Could Reveal Risk of Invasive Breast Cancer

Learn more about the six breast texture patterns that could indicate your cancer risk, and how modern tech is helping make diagnoses more accurate.

Radiomics reveals breast texture patterns associated with cancer risk

In one of the larger studies of its kind, researchers have identified six breast texture patterns that may be associated with increased cancer risk, according to a new study published today in Radiology, a journal of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA).

Scientists Make Cancer Discovery for Dense Breast Tissue — Best Life

Nearly half of women over age 40 have dense breast tissue, a factor that increases breast cancer risk, according to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation (BCRF). To bring awareness to this fact, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) made it mandatory as of Sept. 2024 that all mammography reports tell a patient whether or not she has dense breasts. And while this most definitely has helped women better understand their risk factors and seek a…

Dense breasts = high cancer risk? It's not that simple

In one of the larger studies of its kind, researchers have identified six breast texture patterns that may be associated with increased cancer risk, according to a new study.

Can Radiomic Parenchymal Phenotypes Derived from Mammography Enhance Risk Stratification for Breast Cancer?

Emerging research suggests that radiomic breast texture features extracted from full-field digital mammography may bolster prognostic assessments of invasive breast cancer risk beyond traditional risk factors.

Breast texture patterns on mammo may predict cancer risk in dense breasts

Radiomic phenotypes found on mammography may be linked to elevated breast cancer risk in women with dense breasts.
