-In the Philippines, breast cancer was the most common type of cancer among
women. Between 1998 and 2002, there were a total of 10,083 new cases among
females. The CR was 35.6 per 100,000, while the ASR was 52.2. The rates of
infection ranged from 12.7 per 100,000 in Baras, Rizal, to 75.9 per 100,000
in San Juan. PCS-MCR had a substantially higher ASR (56.1 per 100,000) than
the overall population. The ASR of DOH-RCR, on the other hand, was much
lower (48.6 per 100,000) than the total ASR. The ASR in the DOH-RCR Metro
Manila districts was much higher (54.7 per 100,000), but the ASR in Rizal
Province was significantly lower (32.3 per 100,000).
