About half of women older than 40 in the United States have dense breast tissue, ... “And then heterogeneously dense, which can obscure masses – at least 25% of cancers are going to be missed ...
Dense breast tissue, also known as dense breasts, is a condition of the breasts where a higher proportion of the breasts are made up of glandular tissue and fibrous tissue than fatty tissue. Around 40–50% of women have dense breast tissue and one of the main medical components of the condition is that mammograms are unable to differentiate ...
The heterogeneous dynamic mechanochemical processes regulate interrelationships within the group of cellular surfaces through adhesion. [35] Tumour development and spreading is accompanied by change in heterogeneous chaotic dynamics of mechanochemical interaction process in the group cells, including cells within tumour, and is hierarchical for ...
Tissue heterogeneity refers to the fact that data generated with biological samples can be compromised by cells originating from other tissues or organs than the target tissue or organ of profiling. [1] It can be caused by biological processes (such as immune cell infiltration), sample contamination, or mistakes in sample labelling.
[4] [5] The change in this terminology occurred because the initial 1987 study [3] and many subsequent studies [1] found this tumor only in breast tissue. However, a 2001 study [ 6 ] followed by numerous reports [ 1 ] found tumors with the microscopic histopathology and other key features of mammary MFB in a wide range of organs and tissues. [ 1 ]
So having more dense tissue can potentially hide a breast cancer on a mammogram,” Dr. Ataya says. Women with dense breasts may also be called for follow-up testing more than women with fatty ...
[3] [11] [13] Ultrasonography imaging typically reveals a poorly-defined heterogeneous mass with various small, round, echo-free areas mostly located near the lesions' borders and thereby helps in distinguishing PB tumors from similar cystic lesions such as fibroadenomas, phyllodes tumors, papillomas growing within a cyst, and breast cancer.

A breast mass, also known as a breast lump, is a localized swelling that feels different from the surrounding tissue. [1] Breast pain, nipple discharge, or skin changes may be present. [1] Concerning findings include masses that are hard, do not move easily, are of an irregular shape, or are firmly attached to surrounding tissue. [2]
