Abstract

Abstract Introduction: Mammographic density is a well-known risk factor of breast cancer as a whole. Nonetheless only few studies have examined the association of density among high risk breast cancer regarding BRCA mutation. We examined mammographic density of 2019 breast cancer patients and 2029 healthy controls, regarding risk factors and BRCA mutation status. Method: Total 2019 breast cancer patients diagnosed between 1980 to 2011 were divided into two groups- high versus average risk group. Women with 1)family history of breast/ovarian cancer or 2)younger than age 40 or 3)bilateral cases were considered high risk group and were participants of ‘Korean Hereditary Breast Cancer study’ (KOHBRA) whom undergone BRCA testing. Density of 2029 healthy women who took screening mammogram during the same period were analyzed for comparison. Density was measured of the unaffected contralateral CC view using computer-assisted method Cumulus by single observer (10% randomly selected, intra-class correlation coefficient=0.96). Percent density (PD, dense area/breast area, %) among three groups, association with BRCA mutation status and breast cancer subtypes were examined. Results and Discussion: Percent density (PD) was significantly higher in high risk group compared to average risk and controls in a consecutive manner. This finding was consistent after adjusting age and BMI (p*<0.001).

Similar strong magnitude association of mammographic density was observed in both BRCA mutated/non-mutated tumors and among subtypes. The ongoing GWAS and whole exome analysis of this population-subset will give insight into the tumor etiology and how density could stratify breast cancer risk for personalized screening especially in high risk population.
