Abstract

Breast cancer incidence and mortality in England and Wales and the United States increased between 1950 and 1973, mainly in women aged between 45 and 64 years. These increases appeared to be partly cohort‐specific, beginning with cohorts born around 1899, and partly cross‐sectional, beginning in the mid‐1960s. In both countries, cohort‐specific decreases in fertility paralleled the cohort‐specific increases in breast cancer rates and may, at least in part, have been reponsible for them. Changes in other factors, such as age at menarche and menopause, use of rauwolfia derivatives and oestrogens, consumption of fat and meat, and breast cancer treatment were considered in relation to the cross‐sectional increases in breast cancer rates. On the evidence available, it was not certain that any of these could explain the breast cancer increases.

## Abstract Breast cancer accounts for one‐third of cancer diagnoses and 15% of cancer deaths in U.S. women. Its 192,000 cases and 40,000 deaths in 2001 make it the most common incident cancer (excluding superficial skin cancers) and second leading cause of cancer death. Over one‐half of the 300,00

## Abstract Increasing breast cancer survival, observed in most western countries, is not easily interpreted: it could be due to better treatment, more effective treatment due to earlier diagnosis or simply lead‐time bias. Increased diagnostic activity (__e.g.__, screening) can inflate both inciden

## BACKGROUND. There is debate over whether the recent increases seen in prostate cancer are due to lead-time bias from screening, or identification of clinically insignificant lesions. METHODS. Population-based incidence rates for 1973-1996 were calculated, based on the Surveillance, Epidemiology,
