Breast cancer mortality is disproportionately affecting individuals in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to a severe lack of screening and treatment options. Statistics show that those under 50 in low-income nations are four times more likely to die from breast cancer than their counterparts in high-income countries. Over the next 25 years, an increase in breast cancer cases and deaths is anticipated in LMICs, linked to rising life expectancy and worsened risk factors such as obesity, alcohol consumption, and reduced breastfeeding.
People in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) face much higher breast cancer death rates due to limited screening and treatment options compared to wealthier nations.
With increasing life expectancy and changing risk factors, breast cancer cases and deaths are expected to rise over the next 25 years, especially in LMICs.
