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.
