In Italy, the forecast for total mastectomies from 2024 to 2028 suggests a gradual decline in the number of procedures performed per hundred thousand women. Starting from 1.1 in 2024 and 2025, the rate is expected to decrease to 1.0 by 2026 and 2027, further dropping to 0.9 by 2028. The data indicates a stable phase up to 2025, followed by a 9% reduction over the subsequent three years. This suggests a negative compound annual growth rate, reflecting consistent lower demand or improved preventive measures.
Future trends to monitor include advancements in breast cancer prevention and treatment that could further impact mastectomy rates, and potential shifts in demographic health dynamics.
