Mammographic density and exposure to air pollutants in premenopausal women: a cross-sectional study.
Environ Health Prev Med
November 2024
Cancer and Environmental Epidemiology Unit, Department of Epidemiology of Chronic Diseases, National Center for Epidemiology, Carlos III Institute of Health (Instituto de Salud Carlos III).
Background: Mammographic density (MD) is a well-established risk factor for breast cancer. Air pollution is a major public health concern and a recognized carcinogen. We aim to investigate the association between MD and exposure to specific air pollutants (SO, CO, NO, NO, NO, PM, PM, and O) in premenopausal females.

Medical Physics Department, Yazd Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences and Health Services, Yazd, 8915164481, Iran.
Background: mammography is the gold standard in the early detection of breast cancer. Due to the increase in the rate of women suffering from this malignancy all over the world, this imaging modality has been widely used. Considering the side effects caused by ionizing radiation to measure the carcinogenic risk of mammography X-rays, mean glandular dose (MGD) is the best parameter to evaluate the dose received by patients undergoing mammography.

Background: Mammographic density (MD) is the most important breast cancer biomarker. Ambient pollution is a carcinogen, and its relationship with MD is unclear. This study aims to explore the association between exposure to traffic pollution and MD in premenopausal women.

Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev
February 2024
Centre for Epidemiology and Biostatistics, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, The University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia.
Background: Cirrus is an automated risk predictor for breast cancer that comprises texture-based mammographic features and is mostly independent of mammographic density. We investigated genetic and environmental variance of variation in Cirrus.
Methods: We measured Cirrus for 3,195 breast cancer-free participants, including 527 pairs of monozygotic (MZ) twins, 271 pairs of dizygotic (DZ) twins, and 1,599 siblings of twins.
Rare Paget's Disease Associated With Breast Cancer in a 70-Year-Old Male.
Cureus
April 2023
Radiology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, USA.
Male breast cancer is far less common compared to female breast cancer. Paget's disease of the breast (PDB) is a rare disease, making it even rarer in men. It often presents with eczematous patches over the nipple and areola region, mimics benign dermatological conditions, and can result in a greatly delayed diagnosis.
