- Breast cancer in Latin America: global burden, patterns, and risk factors Amina Amadou Gabriela Torres-Mejía Pierre Hainaut Isabelle Romieu Salud risk incidence mortality prevention acteristics Breast cancer is a major public health problem in Latin America (LA) and the most common form of cancer among women. An important variability according to ethnicity/race with respect to incidence/mortality, clinical characteristics, and prognosis is observed throughout LA. In addition, women are more likely to develop breast cancer (BC) at younger age and to be diagnosed at an advanced stage compared to western women. While little is known about specific risk factors, changes in reproductive pattern (parity, breastfeed - ing) and lifestyle factors including sedentary behaviours, unhealthy diet, and alcohol intake may contribute to the increase of BC incidence. In this paper we give an overview of the burden and patterns of BC, review the leading causes of BC and discuss the possible ways to improve BC preven - tion and control in LA. 2014 artículo científico 0036-3634 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=10632373017 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=106 Salud Pública de México application/pdf Instituto Nacional de Salud Pública Salud Pública de México (México) Num.5 Vol.56
