Population-based analysis of breast cancer treatment by intrinsic sub-type in Manitoba, Canada

Conclusions Reasons for variability in the prevalence of intrinsic sub-type by region is not fully understood. Manitoba is unique due the stability of the population, completeness of the registry and length of breast cancer screening program. Few true population-based studies grouped by intrinsic sub-type are available. Impact Descriptive epidemiological studies guide future research by identifying factors that can affect treatment, recurrence, and survival.
