Dense breasts: Dense breasts have a higher concentration of normal fibroglandular stroma than less dense breasts. Although it is normal tissue, it makes the mammo less sensitive in the detection of cancer, because visualization of the cancer may be obscurred by the dense tissue. Dense breasts have also been shown to be an independent risk factor for developing breast cancer.
