Abstract: |
|
Breast cancer (BC) incidence in women in Armenia was analyzed in the period from 1980 to 2000. During 20 years BC incidence was substantially increased along with mortality. The incidence increased up to 73%, and mortality increased up to 143%. Our data suggest that female BC in Armenia is significantly lower than in the most developed and some developing countries, but comparative mortality of patients with BC is much higher than in other countries. |
