Background. This paper presents data on breast cancer prevalence and mortality among US Hispanics and Hispanic subgroups, including Cuban, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Central American, and South American.Methods. Five-year average annual female breast cancer prevalence and mortality rates for 2009–2013 were examined using data from the National Health Interview Survey (prevalence) and the National Center for Health Statistics and the American Community Survey (mortality rates).Results. Overall breast cancer prevalence among US Hispanic women was 1.03%. Although the estimates varied slightly by Hispanic subgroup, these differences were not statistically significant. The breast cancer mortality rate for Hispanics overall was 17.71 per 100,000 women. Higher rates were observed among Cubans (17.89), Mexicans (18.78), and Puerto Ricans (19.04), and a lower rate was observed among Central and South Americans (10.15). With the exception of the rate for Cubans, all Hispanic subgroup rates were statistically significantly different from the overall Hispanic rate. Additionally, all Hispanic subgroups rates were statistically significantly higher than the Central and South American rate.Conclusion. The data reveal significant differences in mortality across Hispanic subgroups. These data enable public health officials to develop targeted interventions to help lower breast cancer mortality among the highest risk populations.

Background: A significant decrease in breast cancer mortality has been demonstrated in populations invited to mammography screening. There have been questions regarding the value of mammography in the era of modern therapies, and the relative contribution of mammography screening and modern therapy on mortality reduction. Aim: We have sought to clarify the extent to which early detection through mammography screening contributes to the reduction of breast cancer death in the era of modern adjuvant therapies. We address this question by studying five decades of continuous data from a stable population spanning the pre- and postscreening and adjuvant therapy periods. Methods: We analyzed changes in breast cancer mortality in a stable population in Dalarna County, Sweden, among women aged 40-69 years during the 52 years from 1964 through 2015. Mortality data were obtained from the National Cause of Death Register in Sweden, and incidence data from the Swedish National Cancer Registry. Crude and incidence-based mortality rates were compared among four successive 13-year periods: the prescreening period from 1964 through 1976, the Swedish Two-County randomized screening trial period from 1977 through 1989, and two service screening periods from 1990-2002 and from 2003-2015. Furthermore, we measured the effect of early detection upon breast cancer mortality in women exposed to mammography screening by comparison with breast cancer death in women not exposed to mammography screening, within these three screening periods. Data were analyzed by Poisson regression, with corrections for lead time and self-selection bias. Results: There were 5844 incident cases and 1425 breast cancer deaths during the 52 years of observation. The relative breast cancer mortality rates associated with exposure to screening, adjusted for self-selection bias, were 0.46 (95% CI 0.30-0.69) in the trial period (1977-1989), 0.44 (95% CI 0.30-0.65) in the 1990-2002 period, and 0.37 (95% CI 0.24-0.56) in the 2003-2015 period. The significant reductions in incidence-based breast cancer mortality associated with exposure to screening were independent of contemporaneous changes in therapy. Conclusion: The combination of early detection of breast cancer through mammography screening and the resultant earlier treatment has significantly reduced breast cancer mortality in Dalarna County in the women exposed to screening, compared with the women not participating in screening, by a factor of 2.2 in the screening trial period, increasing to a factor of 2.7 in the most recent service screening period. These mortality benefits can be attributed to the far greater effectiveness of modern therapeutic methods upon cancers detected at screening compared with the poorer effectiveness of the same therapeutic methods in women not participating in screening.

Breast cancer (BC) mortality analysis at the regional level is important not only for assessing the current epidemiological situation, but also contributes to a better understanding of factors that may affect mortality. Aim. The purpose of the study is to assess the spatial deaths from BC in Kazakhstan. Material and methods. Investigation was retrospective between 2009-2018 years. The materials were collected by statistics Committee by the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan concerning the deaths from BC (ICD-10-C50). A method of compiling a cartogram based on the determination of the standard deviation (σ) from the mean (x) was applied. Mortality rates calculated per 100,000 female population were used. Results and discussion. A spatial assessment of breast cancer mortality was presented based on the calculation of mortality rates: low up to 12.80/0000; average from 12.8 to 17.30/0000, and high – above 17.30/0000. It was established that the North Kazakhstan (18.20/0000), Akmola (18.90/0000), East Kazakhstan (20.30/0000) and Pavlodar (22.20/0000) regions, as well as the city of Almaty (21.70/0000) relate to regions with high mortality rates. Conclusion. Features of mortality from BC in the republic have been established, while a spatial assessment (cartogram) of mortality indicates regions with different mortality rates. The obtained data are recommended to be used for monitoring and evaluation of anti-cancer measures – BC screening. Keywords: mortality, breast cancer, cartogram, Kazakhstan.
