Mortality from breast cancer is falling in all age groups; in 1999, case- fatality rates were about one-fifth lower than in the mid-1980s. The reasons for this are not certain, but earlier diagnosis through screening and improvements in treatment, particularly greater use of adjuvant therapies, undoubtedly contribute. 3 Five-year survival rates are highest among people aged 50-59 at diagnosis; both younger and older patients have a lower survival rate (Figure 2). However, better outcomes among women in this particular age-group could be an illusion created by lead-time and length biases associated with screening. Older people, who are generally less fit, tend to receive less aggressive treatment and this may. | National Cancer Institute Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences Cancer Communication Health Information National Trends Survey 2003 and 2005 Information National Trends Survey DIVISION OF CANCER CONTROL AND POPULATION SCIENCES Robert Croyle .
