Maybe in relation specifically to tamoxifen use, we can. Going by my personal breast density results before tamoxifen and then again 3 months afterward and since then, very low breast density has definitely not turned out to be an indicator of worse outcome. My history entirely supports the Karolinska Institute studies regarding breast density changes, which in addition are related to density changes specifically after starting tamoxifen.
