Trends in the global, national, and regional burden of breast cancer among adolescents and young adults from 1990 to 2021: Analyses of the 2021 global burden of disease study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study was devised to evaluate the burden of breast cancer (BC) among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) between 1990 and 2021.

Methods

BC burden among AYAs (15-39 years of age) was analyzed by examining the associated age-standardized incidence rate, age-standardized prevalence rate, age-standardized death rate, and age-standardized disability-adjusted life year (DALY) rates between 1990 and 2021 at the global, national, and regional levels, together with corresponding analyses of health inequality and decomposition analyses.

Results

In 2021, the respective global age-standardized incidence rate, age-standardized prevalence rate, age-standardized death rate, and age-standardized DALYs for BC were 5.87 (5.39,6.41), 49.35 (45.46,53.86), 1.37 (1.24,1.51)
