Age-Adjusted Death Rate due to Breast Cancer

Measurement Period: 2016-2020
Filter: none (all Counties)
This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate per 100,000 females due to breast cancer.

Why is this important?

Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer death among women in the United States. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer and about 1 in 36 women will die from breast cancer. Breast cancer is associated with increased age, hereditary factors, obesity, and alcohol use. Since 1990, breast cancer death rates have declined progressively due to advancements in treatment and detection.
The Healthy People 2030 national health target is to reduce the female breast cancer death rate to 15.3 deaths per 100,000 females.
