Breast Cancer Epidemiology in Europe & Africa:-
The most fatal kind of cancer in women worldwide still is breast cancer. In order to improve care for women with breast cancer around the world, this study examines some of the epidemiological parallels and differences in breast cancer between white European women and black African women. African women experience breast cancer at a lower rate than their European counterparts. The majority of breast cancer patients in Europe are postmenopausal; however, premenopausal women in Africa have the highest incidence of the disease. The most typical kind of breast cancer in women in Africa and Europe is ductal carcinoma. However, compared to Europe, Africa has a higher prevalence of medullary and mucinouscarcinomas. African women typically present late for treatment, which results in worse survival rates, whereas European women typically present at an early stage, especially with the advent of screening. African women should be the subject of additional molecular study to find out what genetic variables may increase their risk of breast cancer. To optimise care for women with breast cancer, the health care system in Africa should also be improved.

women with breast cancer around the world, this study examines some of the
epidemiological parallels and differences in breast cancer between white
European women and black African women. African women experience breast cancer
at a lower rate than their European counterparts. The majority of breast cancer
patients in Europe are postmenopausal; however, premenopausal women in Africa
have the highest incidence of the disease. The most frequent type of breast
cancer in women in Africa and Europe is ductal carcinoma. Mucinous and
medullary carcinomas, however, are more prevalent in Africa than in Europe.
African women typically present late for treatment, which results in worse
survival rates, whereas European women typically present at an early stage,
especially with the advent of screening. African women should be the subject of
greater molecular study to determine the hereditary elements that may increase
their risk of breast cancer. To optimise care for women with breast cancer, the
health care system in Africa should also be improved.
Inauguration:-
The worst form of cancer for women worldwide is breast
cancer. Worldwide, there were over 1.4 million breastcancer diagnoses in 2008, and there were 460000 deaths as a result. Of
these, it is estimated that 450000 women in Europe received the disease
diagnosis; there were correspondingly 140000 fatalities, and 68000 women
reportedly received the same diagnosis in Africa; there were correspondingly 37000
deaths. Numerous studies have revealed that the epidemiology of breast cancer
in women in Europe and Africa may differ from one another. Blacks and whites
have been demonstrated to have different relationships with breast cancer in
terms of risk factors include menopausal usage, oral contraceptive use,
cigarette smoking, and family history of the disease. In order to better
understand the epidemiological similarities and differences between breast
cancers in white European women and black African women, this paper will
examine a few of those topics.
2. Probability:-
With over 16000 fatalities and almost 30000 new cases in
2008, breast cancer was the top cause of death for women in West Africa. With
about 18000 new cases and 10000 deaths over the same year, Eastern Africa
appears to have a substantially lower incidence. Five times more cases occur in
Western Europe than in West Africa. Additionally, the number of breast cancer
fatalities in 2008 was estimated to be around 40,000. Similarrates of occurrence—115,000 new cases and more than 47000 fatalities in
2008—can be found throughout Central and Eastern Europe. Additionally, it has
been demonstrated that among American women of European ancestry, the incidence
is significantly higher. Greater European ancestry has been linked to a higher
risk of developing breast cancer, according to Fejerman and colleagues.
Conclusion:-
Review of the epidemiological parallels and divergences in breast cancer among females in Europe and
Africa. African women should be the subject of additional molecular study to
find out what genetic variables may increase their risk of breast cancer. In
order to maximise care for women with breast cancer, the African health care
system needs to be improved.
