Abstract

The study here analyses the relationship between incidence of breast cancer, GDP per capita and medical equipment across countries. Results show that the incidence of breast cancer tends to be higher in richer countries. Statistical evidence provides some elements to discuss some possible causes of the high incidence of breast cancer and relationships between socioeconomic observed facts.
