Overview
- INEGI figures show Guanajuato’s breast‑cancer mortality rose from 17.2 to 21.1 deaths per 100,000 women between 2023 and 2024, placing it among the 10 highest‑rate states and above the national average of 19.0.
- Peru’s Health Ministry reports 21,945 women receiving breast‑cancer treatment in 2025, 551,774 screenings for women aged 40–69 including 56,728 mammograms, and strengthened capacity with 31 new mammographs plus two donated by the IAEA; free screening campaigns run through October 31.
- Michoacán’s health services conducted 39,443 mammograms this year and identified 299 new cases, supported by fixed units and four mobile mammography units, with confirmed patients receiving free care at the state oncology institute.
- ISSSTE’s women’s center in Mexico City performed nearly 8,000 mammograms, 5,400 breast ultrasounds and 624 biopsies in the past year, underscoring that earlier detection improves treatment prospects.
- Experts and officials report more cases in younger women and persistent access gaps, noting low mammography coverage and late‑stage presentations in Nuevo León where about half of patients still arrive in advanced stages, with two male cases also detected.
