Comparative examination of breast cancer burden in sub-Saharan Africa, 1990-2019: estimates from Global Burden of Disease 2019 study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

In view of the widening gap in survival data between high-income and low-income countries, this study aimed to evaluate the most up-to-date burden of female breast cancer and analyse the leading risk factors in countries and regions in sub-Saharan Africa.

Design

An analysis of Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data.

Setting

The data of incidences, deaths, disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and age-standardised rates (ASR) were retrieved from GBD Results Tool (1 January 1990─31 December 2019) covering 4 sub-Saharan African regions and 44 countries. The burden estimable to the risk factors of breast cancer was also estimated. All estimates were presented as counts and ASR per 100 000 population.

Participants
