Yet, comprehensive data on recent trends and how period and cohort effects may affect these trends among young women are not well-known. Objective: To evaluate breast cancer incidence among young women in the US over a 20-year period by race and ethnicity, hormone receptor status (estrogen receptor [ER] and progesterone receptor [PR]), tumor stage, and age at diagnosis, as well as how period and cohort effects may affect these trends. Design, Setting, and Participants: This cross-sectional study used data from Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results 17 registries (2000-2019). Women aged 20 to 49 years with a primary invasive breast cancer were included. Data were analyzed between February and June 2023. Main Outcomes and Measures: Age-standardized incidence rates (ASIR), incidence rate ratios (IRR), and average annual percent changes (AAPC) stratified by race and ethnicity, hormone receptor status, tumor stage, and age at diagnosis. Results: Out of 217 815 eligible women (1485 American Indian or Alaska Native [0.7%], 25 210 Asian or Pacific Islander [11.6%], 27 112 non-Hispanic Black [12.4%], 37 048 Hispanic [17.0%], 126 960 non-Hispanic White [58.3%]), the majority were diagnosed with an ER+/PR+ tumor (134 024 [61.5%]) and were diagnosed with a stage I tumor (81 793 [37.6%]). Overall, invasive breast cancer incidence increased (AAPC, 0.79; 95% CI, 0.42 to 1.15), with increasing trends across almost all racial and ethnic groups. ASIR increased for ER+/PR+ (AAPC, 2.72; 95% CI, 2.34 to 3.12) and ER+/PR- tumors (AAPC, 1.43; 95% CI, 1.00 to 1.87), and decreased for ER-/PR+ (AAPC, -3.25; 95% CI, -4.41 to -2.07) and ER-/PR- tumors (AAPC, -0.55; 95% CI, -1.68 to 0.60). For women aged 20 to 29 and 30 to 39 years, ASIRs were highest among non-Hispanic Black women (age 20-29 years: IRR, 1.53; 95% CI, 1.43 to 1.65; age 30-39 years: IRR, 1.15; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.18). For women aged 40 to 49 years, ASIR was lower for non-Hispanic Black women (IRR, 0.96; 95% CI, 0.94 to 0.97) compared with non-Hispanic White women. Incidence rates increased for stages I and IV tumors but decreased for stage II and III tumors. Age-period-cohort analysis demonstrated both cohort and period effects on breast cancer incidence (P < .001). Conclusions and Relevance: In this population-based cross-sectional analysis, an increase in breast cancer incidence rates among young US women and age-related crossover between non-Hispanic White and Black women were observed. Prevention efforts in young women need to adopt a targeted approach to address racial disparities in incidence rates observed at different age phases.","journal":"JAMA Network Open","year":2024,"id":416501,"datarank":0.7324202883879557,"base_score":4.882801922586371,"endowment":4.882801922586371,"self_citation_contribution":0.7324202883879557,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.7324202883879557,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":131,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.7615,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2024-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":1199902,"name":"Sara Murtagh","orcid":"0000-0003-4615-1843","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":496118,"name":"Yunan Han","orcid":"0000-0002-6378-7715","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":502908,"name":"Fei Wan","orcid":"0000-0002-8311-5553","position":3,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":376835,"name":"Adetunji T.
