Low breast density in mammography worsens breast cancer prognosis.

Very low mammographic breast density worsens the prognosis of breast cancer, according to a recent study. Disease free survivals, as well as overall life expectancies, were significantly shorter in women with very low-density breasts in comparison to women with high density breast tissue. The lower the breast tissue density, the less fibroglandular tissue there is compared to fat tissue.

(I just came across this article and don't recall if it was posted from last month. It really seems like damned if you do - or damned if you don't to have dense vs non-dense breasts.)

oops - just saw it was dated from 2015
