United Kingdom
The number of British women under 50 having breast cancer diagnosed annually has topped 10,000 for the first time, according to Cancer Research UK.
The charity says one case in five in the UK is among the under-50s, though fewer than ever in that age group are dying of the disease.
Higher alcohol intake and childbirth patterns could be factors, it believes.
Mexico
According to the latest WHO data published in April 2011 Breast Cancer Deaths in Mexico reached 5,383 or 1.12% of total deaths. The age adjusted Death Rate is 11.34 per 100,000 of population ranks Mexico #156 in the world. See here.

In 2012, there was an estimated 22,700 more Canadian women diagnosed with breast cancer. This represents 26 percent of all newly diagnosed cancers in women. Breast cancer continues to be the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canadian women over the age of 20 and is the second leading cause of cancer deaths.
Generally, breast cancer incidence rates in women are consistent across Canada and do not vary by geography. Breast cancer incidence rates have remained relatively stable since the late 1980s.
