This study of 78,182 women found that breasts developing cancer showed less reduction in mammographic density over time compared to non-cancerous breasts. Both absolute and percent dense volume decreased overall, yet remained relatively stable in cancer-affected breasts. These findings support using longitudinal density changes to enhance 4–6 year breast cancer risk prediction and to personalize screening strategies for postmenopausal women.
