Playlist 'Breast Cancer' by Trina Whittaker

In observer error cases, are you more likely to miss a breast cancer in a dense or fatty breast?

As a general rule, cancers are missed more easily in dense breasts.

Is the incidence of breast cancer independent or dependent on the density of the breast?

The density of the breast has nothing to do with the development of breast carcinoma.

What would be your best guess as to the final histology? In other words, which histology are we as breast imagers most likely to miss on mammogram?

Lobular carcinoma.
