This is a list of countries by cancer frequency, as measured by the number of new cancer cases per 100,000 population among countries, based on the 2018 GLOBOCAN statistics and including all cancer types (some earlier statistics excluded non-melanoma skin cancer).
The incidence of breast cancer is rising by around 3% per year, as populations in many countries are getting older. [157] Rates of breast cancer vary across the world, but generally correlate with wealth. [157] Around 1 in 12 women are diagnosed with breast cancer in wealthier countries, compared to 1 in 27 in lower income countries. [156]

It is the fourth most common cause of cancer death (around 11,400 women and 85 men die each year) and the second most common cause of death in women. [22]
Well differentiated is given a grade of 1, moderate is grade 2, while poor or undifferentiated is given a higher grade of 3 or 4 (depending upon the scale used). The Nottingham system [ 12 ] is recommended for breast cancer grading. [ 13 ]
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common type of cancer in children, accounting for ~30% of cases. [2] However, far more adults than children develop lymphoma and leukemia. Germ cell tumor : Cancers derived from pluripotent cells, most often presenting in the testicle or the ovary ( seminoma and dysgerminoma , respectively).
G (1–4): the grade of the cancer cells (i.e. they are "low grade" if they appear similar to normal cells, and "high grade" if they appear poorly differentiated) S (0–3): elevation of serum tumor markers; R (0–2): the completeness of the operation (resection-boundaries free of cancer cells or not) Pn (0–1): invasion into adjunct nerves
The tool was built on data from the Breast Cancer Demonstration Project, a screening study conducted in the 1970s involving 280,000 white women, and cancer data from the NCI Surveillance ...
The American Cancer Society reports 5-year relative survival rates of over 70% for women with stage 0-III breast cancer with a 5-year relative survival rate close to 100% for women with stage 0 or stage I breast cancer. The 5-year relative survival rate drops to 22% for women with stage IV breast cancer. [3]
