Women younger than age 75 with a new diagnosis of invasive breast cancer were identified from 4 statewide tumor registries. W
It has been known for years that benign breast disease is correlated with an increased risk for the development of breast cancer. Over the years, there have been many studies linking histological changes in benign breast biopsies and subsequent risk of breast cancer. In many of these reports, there
