Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer in females.It is also one of the chief causes of cancer death among women of all racism. Breast cancer is the second major agent of cancer deaths in women today and is the most common cancer among women, excluding non-melanoma skin cancers.
On the basis of a survey about 1.3 million women will be diagnosed with breast cancer annually globally and about 465,000 will die from the disease. Breast cancer rates decreased by about 2% between 1998 and 2007 accord with survey on the other hand this decrease was only among women aged 50 and older. Deaths from breast cancer have decreased too since 1990, likely from earlier detection and advances in treatment. About 1 in 35 women die from breast cancer.

- Around 1 in 8 women in the U.S(12%) will develop invasive breast cancer in her life.
- In 2010, around 207,090 new cases of invasive breast cancer were anticipated to be analyzed in women along with 54,010 new cases of non-invasive breast cancer.
- Every women are at exposure for developing breast cancer. The older a woman is, the greater her chances of developing breast cancer. Approximately 77% of breast cancer cases occur in women over 50 years of age.
- Around 1,970 new cases of invasive breast cancer were assumed to be diagnosed in men in 2010. Less than 1% of all new breast cancer cases occur in men.
- From 1999 to 2006, breast cancer incidence rates decline by around 2% per year. One theory is that this decrease was incomplete due to the reduced use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) by women after the results of a large study called the Women’s Health Initiative were published in 2002. These results suggested a connection between HRT and increased breast cancer exposure.
- Around 39,840 women were assumed to die in 2010 from breast cancer, though death rates have been decreasing since 1990. These decreases are thought to be the result of treatment advances, earlier detection through screening, and increased awareness.
- There were 2,680 female deaths from breast cancer in 2007
- There were 26 male deaths from breast cancer in 2007
- A woman's chance of dying from breast cancer before the age of 85 has been declining, from 1 in 29 risk in 1982 to a 1 in 37 risk in 2007
- The age standardized rate of death due to breast cancer among women has decline from 30.8 deaths per 100,000 females in 1994 to 22.1 deaths per 100,000 females in 2007, a decrease of 27%.
- Mortality rates for Indigenous women were not significantly different from those of their non-Indigenous counterparts (23.7 and 22.8 deaths per 100,000 women, respectively) between 2003-2007.
- For women, there was an increase in relative survival after diagnosis of breast cancer between 1982-1987 and 2000-2006, five-year relative survival increased from 72.6% to 88.3% respectively.
- In 2006 five-year relative survival was 98.2% for women with 0–10 mm tumors, 94.7% for women with 11–15 mm tumors, 93% for women with 16–19 mm tumors, 87.9% for women with 20–29 mm tumors, 73.1% for women with tumors 30 mm or greater.
- Five-year relative survival was 96.5% for women with negative nodal status, 80.2% for women with positive nodal status in 2006.
- It is assumed that in 2006 there were 143,967 women alive who had been diagnosed with breast cancer in the previous 25 years.
- Breast cancer was the main cancer cause of burden of disease for females responsible for 61,100 disability-adjusted life years (40,600 years of life lost due to unexpected death and 20,500 years of healthy life lost due to disease, or disability) in 2010.
