Research shows that breast cancer rates among women under 50 are increasing slightly each year, with the fastest increase among AAPI women since 2000. released The American Cancer Society made the announcement Tuesday.
According to reportdata from 2012 to 2021 showed that the incidence of invasive breast cancer increased by 1 percent each year, with a steeper trend of 1.4 percent for women under 50.
Research also shows that breast cancer in women under 50 has increased by 50% in AAPI women since 2000.
The study found that from 2012 to 2021, breast cancer among AAPI women increased by 2.6% each year. For Hispanic women, the annual increase was 1 percentage point less compared to 1.6% for AAPI women. It increased by 1% annually among white, black, American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) women, according to the data.
The rapid increase in AAPI women may be due to the influence of Asian immigrants, who have a higher risk of breast cancer than U.S.-born Asian women, the report said.
Although this increase was steepest among AAPI women, the data shows that white women have the highest overall incidence of breast cancer, followed by Black women, AIAN women, AAPI women, and finally Hispanic women.
According to the report, breast cancer mortality rates have decreased since 1990 for all racial and ethnic groups except AIAN women.
The report also showed that breast cancer mortality rates have fallen by 44 percent since 1989 due to advances in early detection and treatment.
The data also showed that black women had a 5% lower incidence of breast cancer than white women, but a 38% higher mortality rate. Researchers believe this is due to decreased access to quality treatment and subsequent diagnosis.
Furthermore, the data showed that AIAN women had a 10% lower incidence of breast cancer but a 6% higher mortality rate than white women.
The study is based on information from cancer data companies including the North American Central Cancer Registry, the National Center for Health Statistics, the National Cancer Institute, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
