Pathological macroscopic evaluation of breast density versus mammographic breast density in breast cancer conserving surgery.

ABSTRACT: Correlation between imaging and anatomopathological breast density has been superficially explored and is heterogeneous in current medical literature. It is possible that mammographic and pathological findings are divergent. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between breast density classified by mammography and breast density of pathological macroscopic examination in specimens of breast cancer conservative surgeries. Post-hoc, exploratory analysis of a prospective randomized clinical trial of patients with breast cancer candidates for breast conservative surgery. Breast mammographic density (MD) was analyzed according to ACR BI-RADS® criteria, and pathologic macroscopic evaluation of breast density (PMBD) was estimated by visually calculating the ratio between stromal an
