Apoptosis in the normal breast has been demonstrated to be related to the menstrual cycle. The factors that influence apoptosis in the breast are reviewed, together with related variations in the degree of apoptosis to disease pathogenesis. Evidence for a relationship between mitosis and apoptosis is provided, and the implications of pregnancy and prolonged postlactational involution are discussed. Future progress will depend on active collaboration between molecular biologists and pathologists to dissect the complex signalling pathways that appear to control the apoptotic and mitotic cascades and their inter-relationships.

The influence of age on the relaxation times of normal breast parenchyma and its surrounding fatty tissue were evaluated, and the variations during a normal menstrual cycle were analyzed using an ultra low field 0.02 T imager. Thirty-nine healthy volunteers aged 21 to 59 years were examined to determine T1 and T2 relaxation times, and 8 of these volunteers were studied once weekly during one menstrual cycle. The only significant trend was an increase in the T2 of breast parenchyma with increasing age. During the menstrual cycle there was a slight but insignificant (p = 0.10) increase in T1 of the breast parenchyma values during the latter half of the menstrual cycle, and a corresponding increase in T2 values between the 2nd and 3rd weeks of the menstrual cycle, which was significant (p = 0.003).
