Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among females in the United States. Both in situ and invasive female breast cancer rates have been decreasing in recent years, with a sharper decline occurring from 2002 to 2003. These rate decreases have been across several age and stage groups and most racial/ethnic populations. Decreases in 2003 occurred primarily among women aged greater than or equal to 50 years. Future studies should focus on determining potential causes for these decreases.

To help prevent pregnancies affected by neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida or anencephaly), fortification of enriched cereal-grain products with folic acid became mandatory in the United States in 1998. Data from the 1999--2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey indicated median serum folate concentrations in nonpregnant women of childbearing age had increased substantially from 1988--1994, before fortification was mandated. This report updates those findings and assess trends in serum folate concentrations by race/ethnicity from 1999--2000 to 2003--2004.
