Radiologists have studied and continue to research how breast density plays into breast cancer risk. The study can be found here.

Why Breast Density Matters in Cancer Screening Dense breast tissue affects screening in two key ways: Reduced Visibility : Dense tissue appears white on mammograms, as do tumors, making it harder to detect abnormalities. Inter-radiologist Variation : Assessments can vary up to 33% 1 when different radiologists interpret the same mammograms.
