Breast cancer was the most common cancer in women in 157 of 185 countries in 2022.

Breast cancer occurs in every country in the world. 

More breast cancer statistics:

  • In 2022, breast cancer caused 670,000 deaths globally. 

  • About half of breast cancers occur in women with no specific risk factors other than age and sex. But this is because many providers don’t appreciate how many risk factors we do know about, which will be listed below.

  • Men account for 0.5–1% of breast cancer cases. 

  • Globally, breast cancer accounts for one in four of all cancers in women. 

  • Worldwide breast cancer incidence has increased by more than 20% since 2008.

  • Worldwide mortality has increased by 14%. 

  • Since 2016 breast cancer is occurring in younger women, which means under 50 years of age.

In the United States, breast cancer is the second most common cancer in women, and the second leading cause of cancer death among women.
