AB - Background Recently, unprecedented drops in breast cancer (+0.5%), reductions substantially lower than those observed incidence have been reported for populations of mostly White among non-Hispanic Whites (-14.3%). In Asian/Pacific Islander European descent. Incidence patterns in non-White racial/ women, perceptible but statistically nonsignificant decreases ethnic groups are less described. Therefore, we examined were observed for hormone receptor-positive, lobular, and small population-based breast cancer incidence trends separately for tumors only. Rates of hormone receptor-negative tumors US Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic, African-American, and non- increased among African-Americans (26.1%) and Hispanics Hispanic White women by etiologically relevant tumor subtype (26.9%) during 2001–2004. Incidence trends in most groups, characteristics, including hormone receptor status, histology, except African-American women, peaked between 1999 and size, and in situ behavior. mid-2002. Rates of in situ cancer remained stable in all groups. Methods We obtained breast cancer data from 13 Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) cancer registries to Conclusion Recently reported reductions in breast cancer calculate age-adjusted incidence rates and trends, stratified by incidence varied considerably by race/ethnicity. These patterns race/ethnicity and tumor subtype for the period 1992–2004. are consistent with documented racial/ethnic differences in the Detailed analyses were limited to women 50 years old or older. prevalence and
