Breast cancer incidence and mortality trends in an affluent population: Marin County, California, USA, 1990-1999.
Breast Cancer Res. 2002; (6): R13
Elevated rates of breast cancer in affluent Marin County, California, were first reported in the early 1990s. These rates have since been related to higher regional prevalence of known breast cancer risk factors, including low parity, education, and income. Close surveillance of Marin County breast cancer trends has nevertheless continued, in part because distinctive breast cancer patterns in well-defined populations may inform understanding of breast cancer etiology.
