- Breast cancer is a significant health issue in the BRICS-plus countries, affecting nearly half of the global population, with a study aimed at identifying risk factors through epidemiological and socio-demographic analyses.
- In 2019, there were approximately 0.90 million new breast cancer cases and 0.35 million deaths in this region, with China and India being the hardest hit; factors like high BMI and unhealthy diets were major contributors to mortality and disability.
- The findings indicate a significant variation in breast cancer burdens across different BRICS-plus nations, highlighting the need for targeted prevention efforts, public awareness campaigns, and improved screening methodologies to address the issue effectively.
