Maybe: There appears to be a link between high bone density and the risk of breast cancer. The reasons for the association are not clear, but may be estrogen related. Please see this link: http://www.Breastcancer.Org/research-news/20080728.

No: Bone density is checked in order to look for low bone density which can result or be worsened by some of the hormonal therapies used for treating breast cancer.
