“…Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed pathology in women, and it is the second cause of death from cancer, and it represents one-third of all cancer cases. However, due to increasingly earlier detection associated with increased screening, awareness, and adherence, as well as better therapeutic strategies, the number of cases of breast cancer has been decreasing [30].…”

Introduction: Ultrasound is a non-invasive, low-cost technique that does not use ionising radiation and provides a “real-time” image, and for these reasons, this method is ideal in several situations. Purpose: To demonstrate breast ultrasound evaluation as a first-line diagnostic method and to evaluate the variation of breast characteristics with age. Material and Methods: A total of 105 women with a mean age of 30 years participated and were divided into three age groups: 18–39, 40–59, and 60–79 years, excluding participants subject to mastectomy. After completing the informed consent, all participants answered personal and sociodemographic questions, such as personal and family history, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, ultrasound, and mammography, among others. They were then submitted to a bilateral breast ultrasound examination. Subsequently, all the images and their data were analysed, and a technical report of the examination was given to all the participants. Results: A total of 105 women with a mean age of 30 years participated, 58 of whom underwent the examination for the first time. In 31, changes (of which only 7 were known) were diagnosed. It was verified that, according to age group, the density of the breast stroma varied; older women have less breast density. Conclusions: Ultrasound is a good method for breast evaluation and can be considered important for the early evaluation of breast pathology and follow-up of the pathology.

“…The incidence of breast cancer is increasing worldwide, with 4.4 million cases predicted by 2070 1 . Women constitute the majority of breast cancer patients, and female breast cancer (FBC) remains widespread among women in most regions 2 . FBC accounts for roughly 24.5% of all cancer cases and for 15.5% of cancer deaths in women, leading in most countries in terms of incidence and death rates in 2020 3 .…”

BackgroundBreast cancer is a widespread disease in women worldwide.AimWe aimed to explore the global epidemiological trends of female breast cancer (FBC) between 1990 and 2044.Methods and ResultsDisease burden, population, and socio‐demographic index (SDI) data were obtained from the Global Health Data Exchange (GHDx) database. We analyzed temporal trends, age differences, risk factors, and geographic patterns of FBC disease burden globally and explored the association between age‐standardized incidence rate (ASIR) of FBC and SDI. Bayesian age‐period‐cohort model was also performed to predict the changes in FBC incidence worldwide from 2020 to 2044. First, the global ASIR of FBC increased by 14.31% from 1990 to 2019 (95% Uncertainty Interval 4.75% to 23.98%). The death rate presented a falling trend. Second, alcohol use is the most‐highlighted risk factor for FBC in some high‐income regions such as Europe. A high fasting plasma glucose levels is the most prominent risk factor for FBC in Latin America and Africa. Third, the ASIR of the FBC increases with the SDI. Fourth, the incidence is expected to increase faster among women aged 35–60 years and fastest for those aged 50–54 years from 2020 to 2044. Countries with a high incidence of FBC that is expected to increase significantly include Barbados, Burkina Faso, Senegal, Monaco, Lebanon, Togo, and Uganda.ConclusionThe disease burden of FBC varies worldwide; the findings suggest attaching importance to the control of middle and low‐middle SDI regions. Public health as well as cancer prevention experts should pay more attention to regions and populations at an increased risk of developing FBC, focusing on their prevention and rehabilitation while conducting further epidemiological studies to investigate the risk factors of their increase.
