PY - 2017 DA - 2017/08/29 TI - Tissue-based associations of mammographic breast density with breast stem cell markers JO - Breast Cancer Research SP - 100 VL - 19 IS - 1 AB - Mammographic breast density is a well-established, strong breast cancer risk factor but the biology underlying this association remains unclear. Breast density may reflect underlying alterations in the size and activity of the breast stem cell pool. We examined, for the first time, associations of CD44, CD24, and aldehyde dehydrogenase family 1 member A1 (ALDH1A1) breast stem cell markers with breast density.
