Background The evidence for the associations between early-life adiposity and female
cancer risks is mixed. Little is known about the exact shape of the relationships and whether …

Percent mammographic density (PMD) is a strong breast cancer risk factor, however, other
mammographic features, such as V, the standard deviation (SD) of pixel intensity, may be …

Background Breast parenchymal texture features, including grayscale variation (V), capture
the patterns of texture variation on a mammogram and are associated with breast cancer …

Background New biomarkers of risk may improve breast cancer (BC) risk prediction. We
developed a computational pathology method to segment benign breast disease (BBD) …

Abstract Purpose The Joanne Knight Breast Health Cohort was established to link breast
cancer risk factors, mammographic breast density, benign breast biopsies and associated …

Background: According to the stem cell hypothesis, breast carcinogenesis may be related to
the breast stem cell pool size. However, little is known about associations of breast cancer …

Purpose There are differences in the distributions of breast cancer incidence and risk factors
by race and ethnicity. Given the strong association between breast density and breast …

Background: We investigated the associations between several reproductive factors related
to childbearing and the variation (V) measure (a novel, objective, single summary measure …

Data modeling requires a sufficient sample size for reproducibility. A small sample size can
inhibit model evaluation. A synthetic data generation technique addressing this small …

Background: We investigated the associations of oral contraceptives (OC) with percent
breast density (PD), absolute dense area (DA), nondense area (NDA), and a novel image …
