Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2023 at "JAMA network open"
DOI: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.2420
Abstract: Importance Evidence suggests that women with a family history of breast cancer (FHBC) in first-degree relatives have a higher level of breast density; however, studies of premenopausal women remain limited. Objective To investigate the association… read more here.
