Breast cancer is a malignant tumor originating within the breast tissue. The most common type of breast cancer is invasive breast cancer, which originates from the milk ducts and invades the surrounding breast tissue (Cancer Research UK, 2023a). As it progresses, the cancer can metastasize to other parts of the body via the bloodstream and lymphatic system (American Cancer Society, 2022). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breast cancer was the most common diagnosed cancer in women in 157 out of 185 countries in 2022 and is the leading cause of cancer death in women globally (IARC, 2020; WHO, 2024). Risk factors include prolonged exposure to endogenous/exogenous sex hormones; gene mutations; a family history of breast cancer; being overweight or obese; physical inactivity; high alcohol consumption; early menarche; late menopause; and clinical factors, such as biopsy-confirmed atypical hyperplasia and having a high breast tissue and bone density (IARC, 2020; American Cancer Society, 2022).
Scope
- HER2-Negative Breast Cancer: Epidemiology Report and Model provide an overview of the risk factors, comorbidities, and the global and historical trends of HER2-negative (HER2-) breast cancer in the eight major markets (8MM: US, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK, Japan, and urban China).
- The report includes a 10-year epidemiology forecast for the diagnosed incident cases of all invasive breast cancer, diagnosed incident cases of HER2- breast cancer, and five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of HER2- breast cancer. The diagnosed incident cases of all invasive breast cancer among women are segmented by age (18 years and older), and hormone receptor (HR) status (HER2-/HR+ and HER2-/HR-). The diagnosed incident cases of HER2- breast cancer among women are segmented by stage at diagnosis (stages I, II, I-II, III, and IV). Five-year diagnosed prevalent cases of invasive HER2- breast cancer are segmented by progression to metastatic disease; stage (stages I-II, III, and IV); menopausal status (HER2-/HR+ only); tumor resection; HR positivity (HER2-/HR+ only); mutations and biomarkers; and other HER2 activating mutations.
