Objective To analyse breast cancer incidence and mortality based on the data of Hubei cancer registries in 2012. Methods According to the breast cancer data collected from seven Hubei cancer registries, descriptive analysis included Hubei breast cancer incidence, distribution and mortality in 2012 stratified by areas, gender, age and cancer site. Results A total of 1830 cases of newly diagnosed breast cancers were reported in seven Hubei registries, including 1809(98.85%) female patients, accounting for 16.75% of female cancers; 443 cases breast cancer deaths, including 433(97.74%) cases of female breast cancer deaths, accounting for 8.31% of female cancer deaths. The crude incidence of female breast cancer was 44.81 per 10 million, among which, urban areas was 62.53 per 10 million and rural areas was 27.46 per 10 million; mortality was 10.73 per 10 million, among which, urban areas was 14.57 per 10 million and rural areas was 6.96 per million. Breast cancer incidence was the highest among female cancers, and the breast cancer mortality ranked as the fifth among female cancers. Female breast cancer incidence was bimodal distribution of 60-64 and 75-79 year-old groups; mortality increased within 0-59 years old and decreased slowly after 59 years old, then rapidly rose after 74 years old. Conclusion There is a significant difference of the breast cancer incidence and mortality between the annual Hubei Province's data and annual national data, providing a reliable basis according to which the government and the relational department could formulate prevention and control strategies and planning.
