(2010, background): “Breast density in and of itself has been shown by several studies to be an independent risk factor for the development of breast cancer, with the relative risk for women with the most dense breasts 2 to 6 times that of women with the least dense breasts [76-78].”
Unsupervised Deep Learning Applied to Breast Density Segmentation and Mammographic Risk Scoring (2016, neutral): “According to several studies, women with high MD have a two to six-fold increased breast cancer risk compared to women with low MD [4], [5].”
