LBR7457: Global Breast Cancer Incidence, Mortality Trends Analysis

This report provides an analysis of global breast cancer incidence and mortality rates, drawing upon data from the Global Burden of Disease study. It highlights the death rates associated with various cancers across numerous countries, with specific attention to breast cancer trends. The analysis considers the impact of different cancer types across various age groups, noting that certain cancers, such as nervous system and brain cancers, disproportionately affect younger populations, while others, like colorectal and stomach cancers, are more prevalent in older adults. The report references the Global Burden of Disease Cancer Collaboration and other research to support its findings, offering insights into the epidemiology of cancer and its global impact. Desklib provides access to this and other solved assignments.

Breast cancer and its
rate
Discussed by (Name of the Student)

Description of the graph
• In the study of Systematic Analysis
for the Global Burden of Disease.
This graph has been provided
which discusses about the death
rate due to several cancer
incidences in more than 50
countries (Global Burden of Disease
Cancer Collaboration 2018).
• The graph included color coding for
each type of cancer and explained
the death rate (Pernar et al. 2018).

Description of the graph
• Mesothelioma, Multiple myeloma, acute lymphoid leukaemia, liver cancer, colon and rectum
cancer, stomach cancer, pharynx cancer are the critical cancer diseases that can high percentage
of death in both the sexes for both the genders in the year 2016. Specifically, the age group of 65
to 95 plus faces the highest incidence of cancer and higher incidence of cancer death rates.
While in the age group of 0 to 19 Uterine cancer, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, nervous system cancer
and the brain cancer, other forms of leukaemia are the high death causing cancer rates for the
teenagers. For the childhood cancers that are aged between the 0 to 19 years, the most common
cancer and cancer deaths are from the nervous and brain system cancer, and the acute lymphoid
leukaemia (Global Burden of Disease Cancer Collaboration 2018).
• For the young adults and the adolescents, the most common form of cancer that occurs globally
were cervical cancer and breast cancer. The main causes that leads to the cause of the cancer
death are the non-Hodgkin lymphoma, nervous system and brain cancer. The population that are
aged more than 39 years and the cancers that have the highest incidence of cancers are the
colorectal cancer, prostrate, breast and TBL. Whereas, the main contributors of the cancer deaths
are the stomach cancer, colorectal cancer, TBL. (Global Burden of Disease Cancer Collaboration
2018).
