Abstrakt:	This study aims to investigate the relationship between mammographic breast density and the surgical outcomes of breast cancer. PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct, and the Wiley Library were systematically searched for relevant literature. Rayyan QRCI was employed throughout this comprehensive process. Our results included ten studies with a total of 5017 women diagnosed with breast cancer. The follow-up duration ranged from 1 year to 15.1 years. Eight out of the twelve included studies reported that low mammographic breast density was significantly associated with no local recurrence, metachronous contralateral breast cancer, and fewer challenges in the preoperative and intraoperative phases. On the other hand, four studies reported that mammographic breast density is not linked to disease recurrence, survival, re-excision, or an incomplete clinical and pathological response. There is a significant association between low mammographic breast density and reduced challenges in the preoperative and intraoperative phases, as well as no local recurrence and fewer mastectomy cases. However, the link between mammographic breast density and disease recurrence, survival, re-excision, and incomplete clinical and pathological response is less clear, with some studies reporting no significant association. The findings suggest that mammographic breast density may play a role in certain aspects of breast cancer outcomes, but further research is needed to fully understand its impact.
