Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in U.S. women, behind lung cancer. The chance that a woman will die from breast cancer is 1 in 39, or about 2.5%.

In 2025, an estimated 42,170 women will die from breast cancer in the U.S.

Breast cancer death rates have slowly decreased over time, for an overall decline of 44% since 1989. This is in part due to better screening and early detection efforts, increased awareness, and continually improving treatment options.

Women who receive regular screenings for breast cancer have a 26% lower breast cancer death rate than women who do not receive screenings.

Breast cancer statistics by ethnicity-

In the United States, breast cancer occurs within every racial and ethnic group. However, there are variations in statistics and outcomes across the different groups. Learn more about how NBCF National Breast Cancer Foundation is addressing disparities in breast cancer.

Black Women:

The average age of Black women diagnosed with breast cancer is 60 years old, compared to an average age of 62 for white women.

Black women are 40% more likely to die from breast cancer than white women.

Black women have the lowest 5-year relative breast cancer survival rate of any racial or ethnic group.

1 in 5 Black women with breast cancer are diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer, which is harder to treat. This is higher than any other racial or ethnic group.

Hispanic Women:

Overall, Hispanic women have a 20% lower incidence rate of breast cancer than other groups.

Hispanic women are more likely than white women to be diagnosed with breast cancer at later stages when it is more difficult to treat.

Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death for Hispanic women.

Asian, Pacific Islander, American Indian, and Alaska Native Women:

Asian and Pacific Islander women are more likely to be diagnosed with localized (earlier stage, more treatable) breast cancer than other groups.

Asian and Pacific Islander women have the lowest death rate from breast cancer.

American Indian and Alaska Native women have the lowest incidence rate of developing breast cancer.

Chinese and Japanese women have the highest breast cancer survival rates.

Though breast cancer in the United States occurs primarily in middle-aged and older women, age is not the only risk factor for a breast cancer diagnosis. Many risk factors beyond age may contribute to a breast cancer diagnosis, and sometimes there are no discernable risk factors at all.

The average age of U.S. women diagnosed with breast cancer is 62 years old.

Half of U.S. women who develop breast cancer are 62 years of age or younger when they are diagnosed.

About 9% of all new breast cancer cases in the U.S. are diagnosed in women younger than 45 years old.

Younger people, particularly those under age 35 at the time of their original breast cancer diagnosis, face a higher risk of breast cancer recurrence.

Root canals & breast cancer connection through the lymphatic system.

Root Canals and Breast Cancer – What’s the connection?

Comment BLODGETT and I will send you the full interview with Dr. Kelly Blodgett on the Dangers of Mercury Fillings, Root Canals and Fluoride.

Repost:

“Many dentists and root canal specialists claim there is no scientific data that supports a connection between root canals and breast cancer. However, data is emerging which supports the connection, and I’ll share information from one such study shortly.

But first, let’s consider the basic human anatomy of the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is a network of tiny vessels that collect fluid and waste products from the body’s tissues and drain into small glands called lymph nodes where substances that could be harmful to the body, such as bacteria or cancer cells, are trapped and removed. This helps to protect the body from infection. The lymph then passes back into the blood. The lymph vessels of the head and neck drain directly into the chest, armpit, and breast area (see image). As I have shown in numerous posts, all root canal-treated teeth are filled with microbes. These microbes are drained by the lymphatic system directly into the breast tissue. It is simple to see how the lymph nodes of the breast can become overly burdened by the chronic exposure to such microbes.

To support this notion, here is a recent study from the International Journal of Molecular Sciences titled: “Bacteria Residing at Root Canals Can Induce Cell Proliferation and Alter the Mechanical Properties of Gingival and Cancer Cells”. The study stated, “A compelling number of studies have documented the crucial role of some oral cavity-occurring microbes in the initiation and progression of cancers.”

I am not saying that all root canals cause cancer. However, root canals increase the risk of cancer. If your health goals include reducing risks for chronic diseases (like cancer!) then avoiding root canals may be more consistent with your values. If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer, removing root canals and other oral infections may also be a priority.

Awareness of the facts and statistics surrounding breast cancer in the United States is key in empowering individuals to make informed decisions about their health.

When breat cancer is caught in its earliest, localized stages, the 5-year relative survival rate is 99%. Advances in early detection and treatment methods have significantly increased breast cancer survival rates in recent years, and there are currently over 4 million breast cancer survivors in the United States.

In 2025, the U.S. is estimated to see around 316,950 new female breast cancer cases and 2,800 male cases, with 42,680 deaths from the disease, including 42,170 women and 510 men.
