Breast cancer incidence trends in older US women by race, ethnicity, geography, and stage

About The Study: In this population-based cross-sectional analysis of breast cancer incidence trends among older U.S. women, racial and ethnic as well as stage-specific patterns differed across age groups, highlighting the importance of disaggregating breast cancer incidence rates into age groups better aligned with screening guidelines. Future research is needed to directly examine the contribution of screening patterns to these trends and their impact on breast cancer mortality.
