Age‐specific breast cancer incidence by subtype, TNM stage and screening status in Sweden 2008–2019 estimated with multiple imputation
Abstract
Breast cancer incidence in women increases with age, but less is known about which subtypes contribute the most at different ages. We describe age-specific breast cancer incidence rates in Sweden by subtype, TNM stage and screening status. Population-based data were retrieved from the Swedish National Quality Register for Breast Cancer on 89,322 invasive breast cancer cases diagnosed 2008-2019 in women ≥18 years. Breast cancer subtypes were defined by estrogen and progesterone receptors, human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), and grade. Poisson regression with multiple imputation estimated proportions and incidence rates. In women
