Abstract Summary
Large study of 122,058 women in Eastern China reveals breast cancer prevalence of 262.5 per 100,000. Key finding: 60% of cases occurred before menopause, with 91.6% diagnosed after age 35. Major risk factors include family history (5.4x higher risk), diabetes history, benign breast tumors, high BMI, and multiple miscarriages. Study highlights need for enhanced screening focus on premenopausal women over 35.
