Breast Cancer Facts & Figures
In 2013, an estimated 232,340 new cases of invasive breast cancer were diagnosed among US women. That year, approximately 39,620 US women were expected to die from breast cancer. Only lung cancer accounts for more cancer deaths in women.
Breast cancer includes both women and men, clearly, more in women than in men. Men should be aware of the potential.
Breast cancer rates are highest in non-Hispanic white women, followed by African American women, and are lowest among Asian/Pacific Islander women. In contrast, breast cancer death rates are highest for African American women, followed by non-Hispanic white women. Breast cancer death rates are lowest for Asian/Pacific Islander women. Breast cancer and death rates also vary by state.
Cancer statistics such as these are presented in this updated edition of the American Cancer Society's Breast Cancer Facts and Figures. Mortality and survival trends for breast cancer, as well as information on early detection, treatment, and factors that influence risk and survival.
