Objective: Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. Mortality-to-incidence ratio (MIR) is a marker that reflects the efficacy and availability of screening interventions and treatment outcomes. MIR can be used to influence public health strategy. The association between the MIRs for breast cancer among countries with different economic statuses and health expenditure is important yet has been investigated. This study was aimed to elucidate the association between the breast cancer MIRs and the human development and health expenditure among different countries. Materials and methods: Cancer incidence and mortality rates were obtained from the GLOBOCAN database. The MIRs were calculated by dividing the crude rate of mortality to the incidence. Associations among the MIR and variants of human development index (HDI) and current health expenditure (CHE) in 50 countries were estimated via linear regression. Results: Breast cancer had a higher incidence rate, but lower mortality rate, in developed countries (high HDI, CHE per capita, CHE/GDP), as compared with developing countries. Favorable MIRs were associated with a high HDI and high health expenditure countries (presented by high CHE per capita, and CHE/GDP) (both p |
