Cancer incidence trends show gender split and rising breast cancer
The study finds overall cancer deaths down across the population but incidences decline only for men while women rise. Female breast cancer rates jump about 40 percent since 1973 from 82.6 to 118.1 per 100 000 in 1998. Howe attributes the rise to increased screening in the highest risk age group, which detects more tumors.
