From: Quantitative assessment of background parenchymal enhancement in breast MRI predicts response to risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy: preliminary evaluation in a cohort of BRCA1/2 mutation carriers

Fig. 7

Whole-breast volume (|Breast|) changes after risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) showing a significant decrease for the 44 women who did not develop breast cancer post-RRSO but a non-significant increase for the 6 women who developed breast cancer after RRSO. The changes may be due to overall changes in the breast disuse, including changes in the fat content, induced by hormonal changes due to the RRSO surgery
