Abstract
There is global disparity in the incidence of breast cancer, as well as overall and breast cancer-specific mortality. Generally, there is a greater incidence of breast cancer in the developed world but a greater mortality from breast cancer in the developing world. Within Europe, variation of incidence and mortality are present. This is due to a complex combination of factors including risk factors, limitations of data and much inequality in the methods of breast cancer screening, diagnosis and treatment.
