Breast cancer mortality trends in Europe among women in perimenopausal and postmenopausal age (45+)

Introduction The aim of the study was to analyze breast cancer (BC) mortality trends among women at the age of 45 years old and older (45+) in the 28 European Union (EU) countries, as well as in 3 non-EU countries – Norway, Switzerland and the Russian Federation (control group) within the period 195...
