Özet

Objective: Mammographic breast parenchymal density is the radiological composition of radiodense fibroglandular tissue and radiolucent adipose tissue. Dense breasts restrict the imaging of lesions detected by mammography and reduce the sensitivity of mammography. In this study, we investigated correlation between breast parenchymal density and prognosis, tumor biology, reoperation rates, and prognostic factors.
