Why Is This Important?

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among American women.1 Female breast cancer diagnosed at later stages is harder to treat and is consistent with higher mortality.

Definition

Age-adjusted incidence rate of breast cancer diagnosed at a late stage in females per 100,000 standard population.

  • ICD-O-3 codes: C50.0-C50.9 (excl. types 9590-9992)
  • Late stage = regional (Stage 2-5) and distant (Stage 7)

Data Notes

  • Data have been age-adjusted to the U.S. 2000 standard population.
  • This is Healthy New Jersey 2020 Objective CA-11.

    Data for White, Black, and Asian/PI do not include Hispanics. Hispanic ethnicity includes persons of any race.

    2020 data are considered preliminary and should not be used in trend analyses; an approximate 10% decrease in the number of cancer cases diagnosed in 2020 compared to 2019, is partly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Patients experienced difficulties scheduling medical appointments and cancer screening tests in 2020.

Data Sources

How the Measure is Calculated

  • Numerator:

    Number of new cases of breast cancer diagnosed at the regional or distant stage among females

  • Denominator:

    Estimated number of females in the population

    Healthy NJ 2020 Objective CA-11

    NJ Target: Reduce late-stage breast cancer cases among women to 43.7 per 100,000 females (age-adjusted) for the total population, 30.1 for Asians, 48.9 for Blacks, 35.7 for Hispanics, and 43.3 for Whites by 2020.0
