The aim of the study was to estimate the change in breast cancer incidence around the world in the last two decades, to investigate a hypothesized rise (of epidemic proportions) in incidence of the disease, and to assess the potential for its prevention. This was done by examining data from 23 registries worldwide. The anticipated widespread and epidemic proportions of the increases in breast cancer incidence were consistent with the proposed hypothesis. The results are discussed in these terms, and alternative actions for the prevention of the epidemic extent of breast cancer in the community are suggested.
该研究的目的是估计过去二十年全球乳腺癌发病率的变化，调查该疾病发病率假设性的上升（达到流行程度），并评估其预防潜力。这是通过审查来自全球23个登记处的数据来完成的。乳腺癌发病率上升预期的广泛程度和流行程度与提出的假设一致。将根据这些情况讨论结果，并提出在社区预防乳腺癌流行程度的替代行动建议。
