I have a question but not about radiation. My mammogram findings showed benign-appearing fibroglandular calcifications. If these are benign, could they turn to cancer?

Hi Molly,
According to this article from Imaging Technology News http://bit.ly/2mOiy6t "fibroglandular breast density is important, because high density increases the risk of cancer and decreases the accuracy of mammograms"
Is your breast tissue also dense?

All the more reason to keep up with regular breast cancer screening.
