It is estimated 41,760 women in the U.S. will die from the disease in 2019.
A decades-long decline in breast cancer deaths in the U.S. has started to slow, while diagnosed cases of the condition have increased slightly—a trend that scientists believe could be partly caused by the obesity epidemic and declining fertility.
Between 2012 and 2016, the average incidence rate of breast cancer climbed by 0.3 percent per year, according to the study published in the journalFigures collected by the National Cancer Institute's Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Program of Cancer Registries showed a 40 percent drop in breast cancer deaths between 1989 to 2017.
In a pattern that has emerged over the past three decades—and which stabilized in 2011—black women have the highest breast cancer death rate of any racial and or ethnic group in the U.S. The death rate among black women aged 50 and over is double that of white women. breast cancers are increasing in all groups, whereas hormone receptor-positive negative breast cancers are decreasing.
