Abstract:
ABSTRACT Extremely dense breasts can be an independent risk factor for breast cancer. A new FDA rule requires that patients be notified of their breast density and the possible benefits of additional imaging to screen for breast cancer. Clinicians should be cognizant of the data about breast cancer risk, breast density, and recommendations to change screening techniques if patients, particularly premenopausal females, have extremely dense breasts but no other known risk factors.

Abstract:
Breast density is increasingly recognized as an independent risk factor for the development of breast cancer. It has been shown to be associated with a four-to sixfold increase a woman's risk of malignant breast disease. Increased breast density, as identified on mammography, is known to decrease the diagnostic sensitivity of the examination, which is of great concern to women at increased risk for breast cancer. Dense tissue has generally been associated with younger age and premenopausal status, with the assumption that breast density gradually decreases after menopause. However, the actual

Abstract:
Sonography companies have recently developed high-frequency transducers (20–30 MHz) to image the skin and small joints. In this pictorial review, we present a number of settings where these probes can be usefully employed to scan the breast. These include skin abnormalities of the breast and axilla; nipple–areolar complex abnormalities; superficial breast parenchyma abnormalities; breast parenchyma abnormalities in subjects with implants; very small female breasts; peripheral areas in breasts of any size; pre-puberal breasts; male breasts; post-mastectomy chest wall; and intraoperative breast

Abstract:
The current research deals with the characterization of breast geometries in young American populations. Breast measurements using 3D image analysis tools are focused on spatial assessments, such as quadrant evaluations of angle, surface area, and volume, together with traditional linear measurements. Through the statistical analysis, different types of breast shapes and placements are clustered, and characteristic breast anthropometry was identified for each cluster. The research findings indicate that there are four shape clusters and three placement clusters. Among the American females aged

The breast coordinates of fifteen female participants with small breasts (sizes ranging from A to C) were recorded during treadmill walking and running tests under two different sports bra conditions and a no bra condition. The results showed that although vertical breast displacement was always the greatest in each condition, mediolateral breast displacement was significantly greater than anteroposterior breast displacement.

Mammographic breast density has been studied for more than 30 years. Greater breast density not only is related to decreased sensitivity of mammograms because of a masking effect but also is a major independent risk factor for breast cancer.

Important influences on breast density are addressed, including age, menopausal status, exogenous hormones, and genetics of density.

Nuclear receptors (NRs) have been targets of intensive drug development for decades due to their roles as key regulators of multiple developmental, physiological and disease processes. In the normal breast, a number of NRs are reported to be differentially expressed in different epithelial breast cell lineages and likely play a role in the differentiation and maintenance of the normal breast epithelial cell lineages. In breast cancer, expression of the estrogen and progesterone receptors remains clinically important in predicting prognosis and determining therapeutic strategies. More recently,

Excess weight can influence quality of life and impair health by leading to an increased risk of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease and certain cancers. With breast cancer, the risk association between excess weight is dependent on menopausal status for women; weight increases the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women but there is no evidence that being overweight when pre-menopausal is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Being overweight or obese is also a risk factor for breast cancer in men. Three main mechanisms have been proposed to explain the associa

Abstract:
Parabens are Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) used as preservatives to stop the growth of microorganisms in cosmetics, personal care products and some processed foods. They can be ingested or absorbed through the skin and have been found in many body fluids and tissues, including in the breast. In laboratory studies, parabens were found to interfere with the female hormone oestrogen and increase the risk of mammary tumours in animals. However, only a limited number of human studies have been carried out and these are inconclusive regarding the possible link to breast cancer. Nonetheless,

Abstract:
PFAS comprise a large class of synthetic compounds that contain carbon-fluorine bonds. They have heat-resistant, non-stick and water-repellent properties and are used widely in food packaging, textiles, non-stick cookware, cosmetics and fire-fighting foam. They degrade very slowly and are distributed globally. PFAS are found in body fluids and tissues, for example, blood, breast milk and placenta. They are associated with many health problems, including cancer, and may increase breast cancer risk. Animal studies have shown that PFAS exposure may increase the risk of mammary tumours, and in ute
