How many women get breast cancer every year?
According to the American Cancer Society, in the US in 2023, invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in an estimated 297,790 women and 2,800 men, with an additional 55,720 cases of ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) diagnosed in women.
Why does New Hampshire have one of the highest rates of breast cancer in the US?
It could be because of the demographics. Breast cancer is more prevalent in white women, and NH’s population is 94% white. It may also be because New Hampshire is doing a great job at screening mammograms. The more you screen women, the more you will find.
