Although the relationship between breast cancer (BC) risk factors and mammographic density (MD) patterns is not clear, high MD is well known as an independent risk factor for BC. Thus, the aim of this study was to examine the association between MD and BC risk factors in BC patients and find a correlation between MD and tumor characteristics in BC patients.
