Figures

Figure 1.
Figure 1.
World age-standardized female breast cancer incidence rates for ages 20-84. Figure 1 shows age-standardized incidence rates for female breast cancer worldwide using data from GLOBOCAN, 2018. Breast cancer incidence is highest in Australia, New Zealand, Northern Europe, and North America, intermediate in Central and South America and Eastern Europe, and lowest in the majority of Asia and Africa. Data source: GLOBOCAN, 2018; Graph production: IARC (http://gco.iarc.fr/today) World Health Organization.
Figure 2.
Figure 2.
United States female breast cancer incidence rates by age of diagnosis and race/ethnicity. Figure 2 shows breast cancer incidence rates by age of diagnosis in the United States among White, Black, American Indian/ Alaskan Native, and Asian/ Pacific Islander women using data from the SEER program (SEER 21, 2013-2017).
Figure 3.
Figure 3.
United States trends in age-adjusted female breast cancer incidence and mortality. Figure 3 shows trends in age-adjusted breast cancer incidence and mortality among White and Black United States women using data from the SEER program (SEER 9, 1975-2016).
Figure 4.
Figure 4.
World age-standardized female breast cancer mortality rates for ages 20-84. Figure 4 shows age-standardized mortality rates for female breast cancer worldwide using data from GLOBOCAN, 2018. Breast cancer mortality is highest in parts of Africa and South-Eastern Asia, intermediate in Europe, and lowest in Eastern Asia. Data source: GLOBOCAN, 2018; Graph production: IARC (http://gco.iarc.fr/today) World Health Organization.
Figure 5.
Figure 5.
United States five-year relative female breast cancer subtype survival rates by stage at diagnosis. Figure 5 shows female breast cancer five-year relative survival rates for women at local, regional, and distant stages for each breast cancer subtype using data from the SEER program (SEER 18, 2000-2015).
Figure 6.
Figure 6.
United States five-year age-adjusted female breast cancer incidence rates for each breast cancer subtype by race/ethnicity. Figure 6 shows five-year age-adjusted female breast cancer incidence rates by breast cancer subtype for White, Black, American Indian/ Alaskan Native, and Asian/ Pacific Islander women using data from the SEER program (SEER 21, 2012-2016).
Figure 7.
Figure 7.
Magnitude of association for established breast cancer risk factors. Figure 7 shows the magnitude of association for each established breast cancer risk factor; if the association has been shown to consistently vary by menopause status both the premenopausal and postmenopausal associations are shown. Risks are approximate and can vary depending on the extent of exposure, breast cancer subtype, and menopause status.
