Mammographic Breast Density and Breast Cancer Molecular Subtypes: The Kenyan-African Aspect.

Conclusions: Our findings show discordant relationships between MBD and molecular tumor subtypes to those previously observed in Western populations. The relatively low breast density observed at diagnosis may have important implications for cancer prevention initiatives in Kenya. Subsequent larger studies are needed to confirm these findings.
