`
`Number of New Cases and Deaths per 100,000: The number of new cases of female breast cancer was 125.0 per 100,000
`women per year. The number of deaths was 21.5 per 100,000 women per year. These rates are age-adjusted and based on
`2009-2013 cases and deaths.

`Lifetime Risk of Developing Cancer: Approximately 12.4 percent of women will be diagnosed with female breast cancer at
`some point during their lifetime, based on 2011-2013 data.
`
`Prevalence of This Cancer: In 2013, there were an estimated 3,053,450 women living with female breast cancer in the

`Survival Statistics
`How Many People Survive 5 Years Or More after Being Diagnosed with Female Breast
`Cancer?
`Relative survival (http://surveillance.cancer.gov/survival/measures.html) statistics compare the survival of patients diagnosed with
`cancer with the survival of people in the general population who are the same age, race, and sex and who have not been
`diagnosed with cancer. Because survival statistics are based on large groups of people, they cannot be used to predict
`exactly what will happen to an individual patient. No two patients are entirely alike, and treatment and responses to
`treatment can vary greatly.

`Percent Surviving

`
`89.7%
`
`Based on data from SEER 18 2006-2012. Gray figures represent those who have died from female breast cancer. Green
`figures represent those who have survived 5 years or more.

`
`Survival by Stage
`Cancer stage at diagnosis, which refers to extent of a cancer in the body, determines treatment options and has a strong
`influence on the length of survival. In general, if the cancer is found only in the part of the body where it started it is
`localized(sometimes referred to as stage 1). If it has spread to a different part of the body, the stage is regionalor distant.
`The earlier female breast cancer is caught, the better chance a person has of surviving five years after being diagnosed. For
`female breast cancer, 61.4% are diagnosed at the local stage. The 5-year survival for localized female breast cancer is 98.8%.

`Who Gets This Cancer?
`Female breast cancer is most common in middle-aged and older women. Although rare, men can develop breast cancer as
`well. The number of new cases of female breast cancer was 125.0 per 100,000 women per year based on 2009-2013 cases.

`
`Who Dies From This Cancer?
`Overall, female breast cancer survival is good. However, women who are diagnosed at an advanced age may be more likely
`than younger women to die of the disease. Female breast cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the United
`States. The number of deaths was 21.5 per 100,000 women per year based on 2009-2013.

`Trends in Rates
`Changes Over Time
`Keeping track of the number of new cases, deaths, and survival over time (trends) can help scientists understand whether
`progress is being made and where additional research is needed to address challenges, such as improving screening or
`finding better treatments.
`
`Page 7 of 9
`
`Using statistical models for analysis, rates for new female breast cancer cases have been stable over the last 10 years. Death
`rates have been falling on average 1.9% each year over 2004-2013. 5-year survival trends are shown below the figure.

`Figure: Breast and Adjacent Lymph Nodes
`Inside a woman's breast are 15 to 20 sections, or lobes. Each lobe is made of many smaller sections called lobules. Fibrous
`tissue and fat fill the spaces between the lobules and ducts (thin tubes that connect the lobes and nipples). Breast cancer
`occurs when cells in the breast grow out of control and form a growth or tumor. Tumors may be cancerous (malignant) or
`not cancerous (benign).
