A recent study published in Nature Medicine reveals stark disparities in breast cancer survival rates worldwide, highlighting that while wealthier countries see more diagnoses, poorer nations suffer higher mortality rates due to inadequate access to early detection and treatment. In 2022, there were 2.3 million new breast cancer cases globally, resulting in 670,000 deaths, with notable mortality risk among women under 50 in low-income regions. These findings aim to inform health policies to enhance breast cancer care.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women globally, with survival chances influenced by economic status, leading to higher death rates in low-income regions.
The findings indicate that while wealthier nations report more diagnoses, low- and middle-income countries disproportionately confront higher mortality due to lack of access to treatments.
