Abstract
Breast cancer is by far the most common nonskin cancer in U.S. women. However, breast cancer rates vary widely around the world. Most cases occur in industrialized countries in Europe and North America, whereas the disease is less common among developing countries in Africa and Asia. Rates in the Netherlands, France, Denmark, and the United States, for example, cluster around 90–100 cases per 100,000 women, whereas those in China, India, Turkey, and Rwanda range from 10–20 cases per 100,000 women.Keywords
