Breast Cancer Incidence and Mortality

In 2020, an estimated 276,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in women in the U.S., along with 48,530 new cases of non-invasive (in situ) breast cancer. About 2,620 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed in men in 2020.

At some time, every family will be visited by some type of cancer partly due to the fact that people are living longer. According to the American Cancer Society, lifetime risk refers to the probability that a person will develop or die from cancer over a lifetime. In the United States, men have slightly less than a one in two risk; for women the risk is a little more than one in three
