Forecasting global progress in breast cancer control in the context of the sustainable development goals.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN-SDG) 3.4 aims to reduce premature mortality from non-communicable diseases, including breast cancer, by one-third by 2030 relative to 2015. However, many countries, particularly those with lower income, appear off track. Although mortality rates are commonly used to gauge progress, mortality-to-incidence ratios (MIRs) may provide additional insight by accounting for varying incidence and the effectiveness of cancer control measures.

Methods

We obtained age-standardised breast cancer incidence and mortality rates for women aged 30-69 years from 2000 to 2019, covering 199 countries stratified by World Bank income groups (low, lower middle, upper middle and high) from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluatio
