Cet article présente le rapport 2024 de l'"American Cancer Society" concernant les données d'incidence de cancer du sein et de la mortalité spécifique

Résumé en anglais

The 2024 Breast Cancer Statistics highlight a few interesting trends: breast cancer incidence is increasing, there is a greater increase in younger women, and most of this increase is driven by early stage diagnosis and hormone receptor (HR)-positive disease.1 In addition, compared with other racial groups, women with Asian American/Pacific Islander (AAPI) heritage have a greater increase in breast cancer; and, despite overall declining death rates from breast cancer, Black women continue to have higher mortality compared with White women. Let us consider these findings in more detail.
