The total number of mastectomy procedures performed in Germany is steadily decreasing. Based on the forecast, figures from 2024 to 2028 show a slight annual decline. In 2023, there were approximately 27,000 procedures. By 2024, this number is expected to decrease to 26.85 thousand, and by 2028, it will reach about 26.54 thousand. Year-on-year variations indicate a minor reduction of under 0.3% annually, highlighting a gradual downtrend.

Future trends to watch for:

Advancements in breast cancer treatments that might reduce the need for surgical intervention.
Increased adoption of non-invasive alternatives and personalized medicine.
Shifts in healthcare policy and preventive strategies leading to fewer late-stage cancer cases requiring mastectomy.
