Breast Cancer Awareness

*What is the average American woman’s risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer at different ages?

Many women are more concerned in the risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer at specific ages or over specific time periods. Estimates by decade of life are also less affected by changes in incidence and mortality rates than longer-term estimates. The risk a woman will be diagnosed with breast cancer during the next 10 years, starting at the following ages, is as follows:

• Age 30 . . . . . . 0.44 percent (or 1 in 227)
• Age 40 . . . . . . 1.47 percent (or 1 in 68)
• Age 50 . . . . . . 2.38 percent (or 1 in 42)
• Age 60 . . . . . . 3.56 percent (or 1 in 28)
• Age 70 . . . . . . 3.82 percent (or 1 in 26)

These probabilities are averages for the whole population. An individual woman’s breast cancer risk may be higher or lower depending on a number of known factors and on factors that are not yet fully understood. *NIH Breast Cancer, Cancer Types
