Since we're much better at detecting breast cancer early, why aren't breast cancer deaths down the most? Is this because treating breast cancer is particularly difficult, more-so than other cancers, or is something causing more breast cancer than before?
- onlyrealcuzzo 3y agoBreast cancer isn't particularly fatal now. Treatment has been pretty decent for at least 10 years. I'm surprised that deaths per 100k are up. I'm not sure if they adjusted this to account for the fact that the global population is older now than in 1990. But DALYs should cover that (which is still a strange outlier for breast cancer, but nothing major).
