Abstract

Breast cancer is the leading cause of illness and cancer-related death in women worldwide. Breast cancer is a complex illness, and one of the risk factors for non-familial breast cancereis breast density. Aim: To assess  and detect the relationship between different breasts mammographic densities and the risk for breast cancer among asymptomatic females.
