Over 192,000 women will
be diagnosed with breast cancer in the US and 1.2 million worldwide
(Source: American Cancer Society and WHO). Breast cancer is the top
cancer among women in Hong Kong since 1994.
There were nearly 2700 new patients
with breast cancer in 2007. Accordingly 1 in every 22 Hong Kong women
will have breast cancer in their life time. Compared to western countries
where 1 in every 8 women will have breast cancer, Hong Kong is lower
in incidence. However, Hong Kong is above world average in the incidence
of breast cancer. Judging from local statistics the numbers and rates
are expected to rise steeply in the years to come. (Source: Hong Kong
