In this article, the American Cancer Society (ACS) provides estimates of new breast cancer cases and deaths in 2006 and describes trends in incidence, mortality, and survival for female breast cancer in the United States. These estimates are based on incidence data from the National Cancer ...
We calculated the expected number of cancer deaths by multiplying the summed person-years for a given age bin by the age-specific mortality rate for that age group derived from the SEER data. We then divided the total number of deaths observed by the total number of deaths expected for all...
Provides an overview of the study "Trends in Breast Cancer by Race and Ethnicity," conducted by the American Cancer Society, published in the December 2003 issue of the "CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians." Prevalence of breast cancer in the U.S.; Racial and ethnic variations in breast ...
The prognostic and etiologic importance of this diversity is complicated by many factors, including the observation that differences in clinical outcomes often correlate with race. Age-adjusted mortality in the United States from breast cancer in white women is 28.3 deaths per 100 000 compared with ...
Global trends in breast cancer incidence and mortality. This review highlights the increasing incidence of breast cancer world-wide and the increasing burden of breast cancer deaths experienced by lower-income countries. The causes of increasing incidence have been attributed to changes in th... PORTE...
In the current analysis, researchers amassed a retrospective cohort of all patients with stage I–III breast cancer between 2004 and 2015 in the North Carolina Central Cancer Registry and explored the risk of treatment delay by race and geographic subregion. ...
Better access.Some cities, for example, have improved access to mammography facilities, which reduced the gap in breast cancer deaths between Black and white women. The CDC's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program helps uninsured and underinsured women get no-cost tests, educati...
doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.8893 Key Points Question What are the optimal race and ethnicity–specific starting ages to initiate breast cancer screening to address racial disparity in mortality? Findings This cross-sectional study was conducted among the total 415 277 breast cancer deaths in ...
Cancer subtype Aggressive cancers cause earlier deaths among people with breast cancer. Some subtypes of aggressive breast cancer, like high-grade tumors called triple-negative tumors, are twice as common among Black women, especially younger Black women, as compared to their White peers. These cance...
