乳腺癌死亡率在美国以及某些其他工业化地区（如加拿大、奥地利、德国和英国）正在下降，这可能是由于乳腺X线摄影筛查、疾病早期检测和改进治疗方法的使用增加。然而，乳腺癌死亡率的下降至少有一部分是由于1924年至1938年出生的妇女在二战后生育子女的高生育率造成的。相比之下，西班牙、葡萄牙、希腊、匈牙利、波兰和意大利等欧洲国家并没有报告这些有利的趋势。据报道，亚洲地区的乳腺癌死亡率最低，使研究人员推测饮食、文化和/或环境因素可能与疾病的病因有关。
Breast cancer mortality is declining in the United Stares, as well as in certain other industrialized areas-such as Canada, Austria, Germany, and the United Kingdom-possibly due to increased utilization of mammographic screening, early detection of disease, and availability of improved therapies. At least some of the decline has been attributed, however, to the higher fertility rates of the cohort of women born between 1924 and 1938 who bore children during the post-World War II period.In contrast, certain European nations-Spain, Portugal, Greece, Hungary, Poland, and Italy-have not reported these favorable trends.The lowest breast cancer mortality rates are reported in Asian regions, lending researchers to speculate that dietary, cultural, and/or environmental factors might be implicated in the etiology of the disease.
