==Overview==
The prevalence of breast cancer is approximately 124.8 per 100,000 women per year. The number of deaths was 21.9 per 100,000 women per year, based on 2010-2012 data. About 1 out of 8 women in United states will develop invasive [[breast]] cancer. Annually (i . e in 2019) around 268,600 and 62,930 new cases of invasive and non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed respectively. In men, life time likelihood of developing breast cancer is about 1 in 883. Annually 2,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in males. Breast cancer increasing pattern of [[incidence]] rates began decreasing after year 2000 in US.
==Epidemiology and demographics==
*About 1 out of  8  women in United states will develop invasive [[breast]] cancer.
*Annually (i . e in 2019) around 268,600 and 62,930 new cases of invasive and non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed respectively.
*In men, life time likelihood of developing breast cancer is about 1 in 883.
*Annually 2,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in males.
*Breast cancer increasing pattern of [[incidence]] rates began decreasing after year 2000 in US.
*According to the results of the Women’s Health Initiative study ,published in 2002, reduced use of [[hormone replacement therapy]] (HRT) by US women might explain the observed decreasing pattern of incidence.
*Around 42000 women in the U.S. are expected to die annually from breast cancer.
*Women under 50 have experienced larger decreases.
*A decreasing pattern of death rates has been observed since 1989 which might be explained by treatment advances, earlier cancer detection courtesy of [[Screening (medicine)|screening]] programs, and increased awareness.<ref name="urlCancer Statistics Review, 1975-2015 - SEER Statistics">{{cite web |url=https://seer.cancer.gov/csr/1975_2015/ |title=Cancer Statistics Review, 1975-2015 - SEER Statistics |format= |work= |accessdate=}}</ref>

**In the subgroup of women under 45, African-American women breast incidence of breast cancer is higher compared to the  white women, and they are more likely to die of breast cancer.
**Asian, Hispanic, and Native-American women, have a lower risk of developing and dying from breast cancer.

===Prevalence===
*In 2019, around 3.1 million women are living with breast cancer in the United States.
*Approximately 12.3 percent of women will be diagnosed with female breast cancer at some point during their lifetime.
 
* Worldwide, [[breast cancer]] is the most common invasive cancer in women.  (The most common form of cancer is non-invasive [[Skin neoplasm|non-melanoma skin cancer]]; non-invasive cancers are generally easily cured, cause very few deaths, and are routinely excluded from cancer statistics.)  Breast cancer comprises 22.9% of invasive cancers in women and 16% of all female cancers.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.who.int/cancer/detection/breastcancer/en/index1.html|title=Breast cancer: prevention and control |work=World Health Organization |accessdate=}}</ref>

[[Epidemiological]] risk factors for a disease can provide important clues as to the [[etiology]] of a disease.  The first work on breast cancer epidemiology was done by [[Janet Lane-Claypon]], who published a comparative study in 1926 of 500 breast cancer cases and 500 control patients of the same background and lifestyle for the British Ministry of Health.{{Fact|date=June 2007}}
===Case Fatality Rate===
 
*Estimated death due to breast cancer in 2018 was 40,920 which made 6.7% of all caner induced death.
Today, breast cancer, like other forms of cancer, is considered to be the final outcome of multiple environmental and hereditary factors.
*The number of deaths was 21.9 per 100,000 women per year, based on 2010-2012 data.
# Lesions to [[DNA]] such as [[genetic mutations]].  Exposure to estrogen has been experimentally linked to the mutations that cause breast cancer.<ref name="pmid16675129">{{cite journal |author=Cavalieri E, Chakravarti D, Guttenplan J, ''et al'' |title=Catechol estrogen quinones as initiators of breast and other human cancers: implications for biomarkers of susceptibility and cancer prevention |journal=Biochim.

*A decreasing pattern of death rates has been observed since 1989 which might be explained by treatment advances, earlier cancer detection courtesy of screening programs, and increased awareness.
# Failure of immune surveillance, which usually removes malignancies at early phases of their natural history.
# Abnormal [[growth factor]] signaling in the interaction between [[stromal cells]] and [[epithelial cells]], for example in the [[angiogenesis]] necessary to promote new blood vessel growth near new cancers.
# Inherited defects in [[DNA repair genes]], such as ''BRCA1'', ''BRCA2'' and ''p53''.
 
Although many epidemiological risk factors have been identified, the cause of any individual breast cancer is often unknowable.  In other words, epidemiological research informs the patterns of breast cancer incidence across certain populations, but not in a given individual. Approximately 5% of new breast cancers are attributable to hereditary syndromes, while no [[etiology]] is known for the other 95% of cases.<ref name=Madigan_1995>{{cite journal | author = Madigan MP, Ziegler RG, Benichou J, Byrne C, Hoover RN | title = Proportion of breast cancer cases in the United States explained by well-established risk factors | journal = J.

According to the American Cancer Society, between the years of 2008 and 2012, breast cancer incidence rates '''increased''' among black women and Asian/Pacific Islanders. Conversely, incidence rates remained stable amongst white women, Hispanic and American Indian/Alaska Natives, for the same years.
White women have traditionally had the '''highest''' incident rate for breast cancer. However, in '''2012''', the incidence rates for white women and black women converged.<ref name="pmid26513636">DeSantis CE, Fedewa SA, Goding Sauer A, Kramer JL, Smith RA, Jemal A (2016) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=26513636 Breast cancer statistics, 2015: Convergence of incidence rates between black and white women.] ''CA Cancer J Clin'' 66 (1):31-42.

In the 2013 statistics, the incidence rate remains quite close. White women have an incidence rate of '''124.4''' per 100,000 and black women, just a little less at '''122.9''' per 100,000.
Although incidence rates are similar now among black and white women, there remain differences based on [[Ageing|age]] and stage at diagnosis.

Overview

The prevalence of breast cancer is approximately 124.8 per 100,000 women per year. The number of deaths was 21.9 per 100,000 women per year, based on 2010-2012 data. About 1 out of 8 women in United states will develop invasive breast cancer. Annually (i . e in 2019) around 268,600 and 62,930 new cases of invasive and non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed respectively. In men, life time likelihood of developing breast cancer is about 1 in 883. Annually 2,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in males. Breast cancer increasing pattern of incidence rates began decreasing after year 2000 in US.

Epidemiology and demographics

  • About 1 out of 8 women in United states will develop invasive breast cancer.
  • Annually (i . e in 2019) around 268,600 and 62,930 new cases of invasive and non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed respectively.
  • In men, life time likelihood of developing breast cancer is about 1 in 883.
  • Annually 2,670 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in males.
  • Breast cancer increasing pattern of incidence rates began decreasing after year 2000 in US.
  • According to the results of the Women’s Health Initiative study ,published in 2002, reduced use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) by US women might explain the observed decreasing pattern of incidence.
  • Around 42000 women in the U.S. are expected to die annually from breast cancer.
  • Women under 50 have experienced larger decreases.
  • A decreasing pattern of death rates has been observed since 1989 which might be explained by treatment advances, earlier cancer detection courtesy of screening programs, and increased awareness.[1]
    • In the subgroup of women under 45, African-American women breast incidence of breast cancer is higher compared to the white women, and they are more likely to die of breast cancer.
    • Asian, Hispanic, and Native-American women, have a lower risk of developing and dying from breast cancer.

  • Estimated new breast cancer cases in 2018 was 266,120 which made 15% of all new caner cases.
  • The incidence of breast cancer varies greatly around the world: it is lowest in less-developed countries and greatest in the more-developed countries.
  • In the twelve world regions, the annual age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 women are as follows:
  • in Eastern Asia,18;
  • South Central Asia, 22;
  • Sub-Saharan Africa, 22;
  • South-Eastern Asia, 26;
  • North Africa and Western Asia, 28;
  • South and Central America, 42;
  • Eastern Europe, 49;
  • Southern Europe, 56;
  • Northern Europe, 73;
  • Oceania, 74;
  • Western Europe, 78;
  • and in North America, 90.[2]

Prevalence

  • In 2019, around 3.1 million women are living with breast cancer in the United States.
  • Approximately 12.3 percent of women will be diagnosed with female breast cancer at some point during their lifetime.
  • Worldwide, breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women. (The most common form of cancer is non-invasive non-melanoma skin cancer; non-invasive cancers are generally easily cured, cause very few deaths, and are routinely excluded from cancer statistics.) Breast cancer comprises 22.9% of invasive cancers in women and 16% of all female cancers.[3]
  • In the United States, breast cancer is the third most common cause of cancer death (after lung cancer and colon cancer). In 2007, breast cancer caused approximately 40,910 deaths (7% of cancer deaths; almost 2% of all deaths) in the U.S.[4]
  • Among women in the U.S., breast cancer is the most common cancer and the second- most common cause of cancer death (after lung cancer). Women in the U.S. have a 1 in 8 lifetime chance of developing invasive breast cancer and a 1 in 33 chance of breast cancer causing their death.[5] A U.S. study conducted in 2005 by the Society for Women's Health Research indicated that breast cancer remains the most feared disease,[6] even though heart disease is a much more common cause of death among women.[7]
  • Since the 1970s, The number of cases has significantly increased, a phenomenon partly blamed on modern lifestyles in the Western world.[8][9]
  • According to the results of the Women’s Health Initiative study ,published in 2002, reduced use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) by US women might explain the observed decreasing pattern of incidence.
  • Because the breast is composed of identical tissues in males and females, breast cancer also occurs in males, although it is less common.[10]

Case Fatality Rate

  • Estimated death due to breast cancer in 2018 was 40,920 which made 6.7% of all caner induced death.
  • The number of deaths was 21.9 per 100,000 women per year, based on 2010-2012 data.
  • A decreasing pattern of death rates has been observed since 1989 which might be explained by treatment advances, earlier cancer detection courtesy of screening programs, and increased awareness.

Age

Invasive Breast Cancer

  • While the overall age-adjusted incidence of invasive breast cancer among males and females in the United States between 2007 and 2011 is 67.1 per 100,000, the age-adjusted incidence of invasive breast cancer by age category is:[11]
    • Under 65 years: 41.9 per 100,000
    • 65 and over: 241.6 per 100,000
  • Among females, only, the overall age-adjusted incidence of invasive breast cancer in the United States between 2007 and 2011 is 124.5 per 100,000, whereas the age-adjusted incidence of invasive breast cancer by age category is:[11]
    • Under 65 years: 81.7 per 100,000
    • 65 and over: 420.3 per 100,000
  • Shown below is an image depicting the incidence of breast cancer by age and race in the United States between 1975 and 2011.[11]

Incidence of breast cancer by age and race

In-Situ Breast Cancer

  • Among females only, the overall age-adjusted incidence of in-situ breast cancer in the United States between 2007 and 2011 is 31.7 per 100,000, whereas the age-adjusted incidence of invasive breast cancer by age category is:[11]
    • Under 65 years: 23.6 per 100,000
    • 65 and over: 87.7 per 100,000
  • Shown below is an image depicting the incidence of in-situ versus invasive breast cancer in females in the United States between 1975 and 2011.

Incidence of in-situ versus invasive breast cancer by age

Gender

  • In the United States, the age-adjusted prevalence of invasive breast cancer by gender in 2011 is:[11]
    • In males: 8.3 per 100,000
    • In females: 1222.3 per 100,000

Sex

Men have a lower risk of developing breast cancer (approximately 1.08 per 100,000 men per year), however, this risk appears to be rising.[12]

Race

According to the American Cancer Society, between the years of 2008 and 2012, breast cancer incidence rates increased among black women and Asian/Pacific Islanders. Conversely, incidence rates remained stable amongst white women, Hispanic and American Indian/Alaska Natives, for the same years.

White women have traditionally had the highest incident rate for breast cancer. However, in 2012, the incidence rates for white women and black women converged.[13]

In the 2013 statistics, the incidence rate remains quite close. White women have an incidence rate of 124.4 per 100,000 and black women, just a little less at 122.9 per 100,000.

Although incidence rates are similar now among black and white women, there remain differences based on age and stage at diagnosis.

  • Breast cancer is a major public health issue in less developed countries, such as those in South America.
  • Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women in countries such as Uruguay, Argentina, and Brazil.
  • For example, the expected numbers of new cases and deaths due to breast cancer in South America for the year 2001 were approximately 70,000 and 30,000, respectively.[14]
