Abstract
This article outlines the current incidence, prevalence, and mortality of breast cancer and reviews the epidemiology of the disease. Major risk factors for the development of breast cancer are covered, including reproductive, genetic, and environmental variables. Understanding the epidemiology of breast cancer will help clinicians identify high-risk patients for appropriate screening and informed disease management decisions.Entities:
