If the current trends continue, by the year 2050, the number of people affected by this disease could increase by 38 percent, and the death rate could rise by 68 percent, according to the WHO Press Service report.
According to experts, the increase in this disease is associated with several factors. Age indicators and genetic factors lead among these.
Moreover, an unhealthy lifestyle, in particular, the consumption of alcoholic beverages, lack of physical activity, and excess weight also contribute to the development of the disease.
Researchers believe that adhering to a healthy lifestyle could reduce the incidence of the disease by almost 25 percent.
In addition, the mortality rate from breast cancer has significantly decreased in 29 countries worldwide. This is explained by the early-stage screening programs and the increased effectiveness of treatments.
