“…The APC model has been widely used to analyze the trend of breast cancer incidence (11,(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). These studies all showed a strong birth cohort effect, suggesting the contribution of lifestyle and other possible environmental factors in the pathogenesis of breast cancer.…”

Female invasive breast cancer (FIBC) in Taiwan is characterized by a striking recent increase of incidence and a relatively young median age (45-49 years) at diagnosis. The Westernization of lifestyle that is increasingly affecting younger generations of Taiwanese may have an important impact on this change. We compared epidemiologic data on FIBC in Taiwanese obtained from the Taiwan Cancer Registry with data for Caucasian Americans obtained from the database of the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results Program for the period from 1980 to 1999. Agespecific incidence rates of FIBC were plotted by calendar year at diagnosis and by birth cohort for both populations. The individual effects of time period and birth cohort on the incidence trends of FIBC in both populations were evaluated using the age-period-cohort analysis. The incidence rate of FIBC was continuously increased in Taiwanese throughout the past 2 decades, whereas the increase of incidence was slowing down in Caucasian Americans. The incidence rates in Taiwanese women born after the 1960s were approaching that of Caucasian Americans. The age-period-cohort analysis showed a much stronger birth cohort effect on the incidence trend of FIBC in Taiwanese than in Caucasian Americans. This strong birth cohort effect corresponded to the Westernization of lifestyle in Taiwan since 1960. These findings indicate that a continued shift in the incidence and age distribution pattern of FIBC in Taiwanese toward that of Caucasian Americans should be anticipated.

“…During the more recent decades, increased incidence trends have been observed across populations without mammography screening [6,9,[13][14][15], in populations with mammography screening prior to program commencement [4,[10][11][12], as well as in population groups not exposed to screening compared with screened populations [17,22,25], although exact birth cohorts and the temporal turning-points, if any, have varied among different populations. Identified risk factors exerting birth cohort effects on incidence trends include reproductive factors like prevalence of nulliparity, age of menarche, age of first full-term pregnancy and menopause, and nutritional factors including alcohol consumption [43,44].…”

“…Increasing trends of female breast cancer incidence over the past few decades have been reported internationally [1,[3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] and in Australia [17][18][19]. These trends generally have been attributed to increased prevalence of risk factors in more recent birth cohorts [1,5,6,8,9,11,[13][14][15][16].…”

“…These trends generally have been attributed to increased prevalence of risk factors in more recent birth cohorts [1,5,6,8,9,11,[13][14][15][16]. Some countries with organised mammography screening programs have also reported greater than expected breast cancer incidence increases in screening target age-groups within the first few years of screening program implementation [4,7,10,11,16,20].…”

The recent increase in invasive breast cancer incidence in NSW is associated with mammography screening, and occurred mostly in the target age-group women. Persistence of higher incidence after 1994 was not explicable by inflation of cancer incidence due to detection of prevalent screen cases, but was associated with a trend of increased cancer detection rates in subsequent screening rounds, probably consequent to quality improvements in mammography screening diagnosis.

“…Even though the prevalence of HRC risk factors has been poorly investigated in Slovenia, we have enough information to explain, at least in part, the spatial distribution of breast cancer risk (risk is higher in the western part of the country) and the rapid rise in breast and prostate cancer incidence. Several studies of the reproductive factors in Slovenia (55)(56)(57) indicate that nulliparity and late first birth (which are both more prevalent in the west of the country) could be responsible for higher breast cancer risk in that part of the country. Reproductive risk factors in Slovenia are also central to the understanding of the increase in breast cancer incidence.…”

Epidemiological trends of hormone-related cancers in Slovenia

The incidence of hormone-related cancers tends to be higher in the developed world than in other countries. In Slovenia, six hormone-related cancers (breast, ovarian, endometrial, prostate, testicular, and thyroid) account for a quarter of all cancers. Their incidence goes up each year, breast and prostate cancer in particular. The age at diagnosis is not decreasing for any of the analysed cancer types. The risk of breast cancer is higher in the western part of the country, but no differences in geographical distribution have been observed for other hormone-related cancers. Furthermore, areas polluted with endocrine-disrupting chemicals that affect hormone balance such as PCBs, dioxins, heavy metals, and pesticides, do not seem to involve a greater cancer risk. We know little about how many cancers can be associated with endocrine disruptors, as there are too few reliable exposure studies to support an association.
