Abstract

This article examines age-related changes in the breast in postmenopausal women and their clinical significance. Morphological, hormonal, and metabolic changes are analyzed, as well as their impact on the risk of developing benign and malignant neoplasms. Modern diagnostic methods and approaches to the prevention of age-related breast changes are also considered.
