Breastcancer
Breast cancer is a disease that is most common among women. It is a mutated cell that divide it self, uncontrolled. The disease is a genetically inherited disease however it does not always express itself. Breast cancer is caused by inheritance, female sex hormones, alcohol, obesity, when you give birth and when you go into menopause. The cells turn into a tumour and spreads to the rest of the body. From the lymph nodes a path is created and it quickly spreads to other parts of the body. Some treatments that can decrease the disease can be e.g. operation and afterwards radiotherapy or/and medical treatment. A normal cell mutates which leads to a regulation error.
Statistics
The red line shows the number of incidents in Denmark per each 100.000 women.
The green line shows the number of incidents in Iceland per each 100.000 women.
The blue line shows the number of women who have died from breast cancer in Denmark per each 100.000.
The yellow line shows the same, just for Iceland instead of Denmark.
In both countries the lowest number of incidents happens at the age of 25 where 6,12 out of 100.000 of the Danish women get breast-cancer and 12,58 out of 100.000 of the Icelandic women get it.
The highest number of incidents is in Denmark and Iceland at the age of 65, at which age 424,92 out of 100.000 of the Danish women get breast-cancer and 406,06 out of 100.000 of the Icelandic.
The most remarkable difference is in the mortality, which in Iceland is maybe not low, but at least lower than the one in Denmark. The Danish mortality grows a remarkable lot after the age of 55 compared to Iceland where the mortality stays at a more reasonable level.
The other striking fact is that from the age of 65 to the age of 70 the number of Icelandic incidents drops by 120 incidents per each 100.000 women compared to Denmark in which the number of incidents only drop by around 50 per each 100.000 women.
