In contrast to currently available bleed-free regimens, the new ultra-low-dose combination of 0.5 mg E2 and 0.1 mg NETA seems to have very little or even a neutral effect on the breast. Both digitized quantification and visual assessment of breast density were unchanged after 6 months. Larger prospective studies should be performed to confirm this new finding.

AFT does not impair assessment of mammograms and ultrasound in patients who have a history of breast cancer surgery or prophylactic mastectomy.
