Breast cancer early detection and resources: Where in the world do we start?

Year: 2012

Type: editorial

Abstract: As the world's most common cancer among women, and the most likely reason that a woman will die of cancer around the globe, breast cancer affects countries of all economic levels. Despite the common misconception that breast cancer is primarily a problem of high income countries, the majority of the 425,000 breast cancer deaths in 2010 occurred in developing countries. The number of young lives lost is even more disproportionately distributed. In 2010, breast cancer killed 68,000 women aged 15–49 years in developing countries versus 26,000 in developed countries.
