Increased Breast Density Correlates with the Proliferation-Seeking Radiotracer Tc(V)-DMSA Uptake in Florid Epithelial Hyperplasia and in Mixed Ductal Carcinoma in Situ with Invasive Ductal Carcinoma but Not in Pure Invasive Ductal Carcinoma or in Mild Epithelial Hyperplasia

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of mammographic breast density (BD) and cell proliferation/focal adhesion kinase activation–seeking radiotracer technetium 99m pentavalent dimercaptosuccinic acid ( 99m Tc(V)-DMSA) uptake in women with different breast histologies, that is, mi...
