Background: Inflammatory breast carcinoma (IBC) appears to be a clinicopathologic entity distinct from noninflammatory locally advanced breast cancer (LABC). We examined incidence and, survival trends for IBC in Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER).Program data with a case definition designed to capture many of its unique clinical and pathologic characteristics. Methods: We analyzed breast cancer cases diagnosed in the SEER 9 Registries (n = 180 224), between 1988 and 2000. Breast cancer cases were categorized using SEER's "Extent of Disease" codes in combination with International Classification of Diseases for Oncology morphology code 8530/3 and classified as IBC (n = 3648), LABC (n = 3636), and non-T4 breast cancer (n = 172 940). We compared changes in incidence rates over 3-year intervals by breast cancer subtype and race using SEER*Stat. Survival differences by breast cancer subtype and race were assessed using Kaplan-Meier curves and log-rank statistics. All statistical tests were two-sided. Results: Between 1988 and 1990 and 1997 and 1999, IBC incidence rates (per 100000 womanyears) increased from 2.0 to 2.5 (P
