Description:Breast cancer is commonly diagnosed among women, accounting for approximately 30% of all cancer cases reported among women.* A slight annual increase in breast cancer incidence occurred in the U.S. during 2013-2017 (1). To examine Trends in breast cancer incidence among women aged ≥20 years by race/ethnicity and age, CDC analyzed data from U.S. Cancer Statistics (USCS) during 1999-2018. Overall, breast cancer incidence rates among women decreased an average of 0.3% per year, decreasing 2.1% per year during 1999-2004 and increasing 0.3% per year during 2004-2018. Incidence increased among non-Hispanic Asian or Pacific Islander women and women aged 20-39 years and decreased among non-Hispanic White women and women aged 50-64 and ≥75 years. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force currently recommends biennial screening mammography for women aged 50-74 years (2). These findings suggest that women aged 20-49 years might benefit from discussing potential breast cancer risk and ways to reduce risk with their health care providers. Further examination of breast cancer Trends by demographic characteristics might help tailor breast cancer Prevention and control programs to address state- or county-level incidence rates| and help prevent health disparities.
