In developed countries, about 99% of breast cancer cases are diagnosed in female patients; in a few African countries, which represent the highest incidence of male breast cancer, males account for 5–15% of cases. [4] The rate of male breast cancer appears to be rising somewhat. [9] Male breast cancer patients tend to be older than female ...
Cancer-causing chemicals are in food storage products and can leach into the human body, a new study says. Chemicals linked to breast cancer leach into our foods, study finds Skip to main content
In many developing countries cancer incidence, insofar as this can be measured, appears much lower, most likely because of the higher death rates due to infectious disease or injury. With the increased control over malaria and tuberculosis in some Third World countries, incidence of cancer is expected to rise.
As a new study identifies nearly 200 chemicals in food packaging that may increase the likelihood of breast cancer, experts share tips on what people can do to reduce their exposure.
Exceptionally, an agent (chemical mixture) may be placed in this category when evidence of carcinogenicity in humans is less than sufficient, but when there is sufficient evidence of carcinogenicity in experimental animals and strong evidence in exposed humans that the agent (mixture) acts through a relevant mechanism of carcinogenicity.
Researchers report that obesity and metabolic syndrome have different effects on breast cancer risks. redrooster2/Getty Images This article originally appeared on Medical News Today
The incidence of breast cancer varies greatly around the world: it is lowest in less-developed countries and greatest in the more-developed countries. [7] In the twelve world regions, the annual age-standardized incidence rates per 100,000 women are as follows: in Eastern Asia, 18; South Central Asia, 22; sub-Saharan Africa, 22; South-Eastern Asia, 26; North Africa and Western Asia, 28; South ...
A recent study has, for the first time, looked at how hormonal intrauterine device (IUD) use can affect a person's risk of breast cancer.
