The total number of mastectomies performed in France was 21.96 thousand in 2023. From 2013 to 2024, the data shows fluctuations with slight increases, reaching a low point in 2020 due to a decline of 4.61%. However, the procedure numbers rebounded in 2021 with a 6.52% increase but slightly declined again in 2022 by 1.07%. The 2023 figure reflects a modest increase of 0.37% year-on-year. Over the past five years, the average annual growth rate (CAGR) has hovered around 0.08%, indicating relatively stable trends with minor variations.
Future forecasts suggest that the number of mastectomy procedures will increase slightly each year, with projected values reaching 22.35 thousand by 2028. This steady growth rate of around 0.28% annually implies a stable yet modest rise in the prevalence of mastectomies in France.
Future trends to watch for include advancements in cancer detection and treatment options, which may influence the need for mastectomies, and potential impacts from healthcare policy changes and patient preferences towards less invasive surgery methods.
