“Breast Cancer Statistics 2024 — American Cancer Society.
“Breast cancer incidence continued an upward trend, rising by 1% annually during 2012–2021, largely confined to localized‐stage and hormone receptor‐positive disease.
A steeper increase in women younger than 50 years (1.4% annually) versus 50 years and older (0.7%).”
