Breast Cancer Facts & Figures from the American Cancer Society
“Among US women in 2017, there will be an estimated 252,710 new cases of invasive breast cancer, 63,410 new cases of breast carcinoma in situ, and 40,610 breast cancer deaths.
While breast cancer incidence rates are highest in non-Hispanic white women, breast cancer death rates are highest in African American women.
Statistics such as these are presented in this updated edition of the American Cancer Society’s Breast Cancer Facts and Figures, which provides data on breast cancer incidence, mortality, and survival, as well as information on risk factors, early detection, and treatment.”
