Prediction of Breast Cancer Risk by Automated Volumetric Breast Density Measurement

Dense breast (DB) is recognized as a breast cancer (BC) risk factor. Although DB is common in Japanese women, the incidence of BC is lower than in Caucasians. We evaluated whether DB is a risk factor or whether there are other risk factors for BC in Japanese women. We retrospectively analyzed 635 BC patients and 999 controls who received a mammography at our hospital between February 2019 and March 2021. Volumetric breast density percentage (VBD
