n 2002, breast became the most common cancer site in Korean women. Using
national breast cancer incidence data during 1993-2002, crude, age-standardized,
and age-specific rates for incidence and mortality were calculated. Survival was
examined for cases diagnosed during 1993-2002 and followed up to 2004. Observed
survival was calculated using the life table method and relative survival using
the Ederer II method. Age-standardized incidence rates in female increased from
14.5 in 1993 to 26.2 per 100,000 in 2002. Age-specific incidences showed peaks in
women in their forties. Mortality rates increased from 3.7 in 1993 to 4.6 per 100,000
in 2002 and showed peaks in women in their fifties. Five-year relative survival for
female breast cancer diagnosed during 1993-2002 was 82.2%. When we examined
the secular trends using cases diagnosed 1993-1999 for complete 5-yr followup,
the 5-yr relative survival increased from 75.2% in 1993 to 83.5% in 1999. The
data from this study will provide valuable information to plan and evaluate actions
against breast cancer including national breast cancer screening. KCI Citation Count: 36
