Breast cancer is the second leading cause of deaths due to cancer among women in New Jersey, claiming more than 1,200 lives annually.

'''Revised Healthy New Jersey 2020 Objective CA-3''': Reduce the age-adjusted mortality rate due to female breast cancer per 100,000 standard female population to 18.9 for the total population, 19.6 among Whites, 26.1 among Blacks, 11.1 among Hispanics, and 10.2 among Asians.
'''Original Healthy New Jersey 2020 Objective CA-3''': Reduce the age-adjusted mortality rate due to female breast cancer per 100,000 standard female population to 23.5 for the total population, 24.7 among Whites, 28.6 among Blacks, 11.2 among Hispanics, and 10.9 among Asians.
The age-adjusted death rate due to breast cancer among New Jersey females declined 37% between 2000 and 2020 and currently stands at 19.6 per 100,000. The rate is highest among Blacks, followed in order by Whites, Hispanics, and Asians.
Healthy NJ 2020 targets were met by most racial/ethnic groups by the middle of the decade, so revised targets were set for the remainder of the decade. The revised targets for Blacks and Asians were achieved.
The age-adjusted death rate due to breast cancer among New Jersey women has been declining more rapidly than the U.S. rate and, since 2014, the rates for New Jersey and the U.S. have been nearly equal.
Getting mammograms regularly can lower the risk of dying from breast cancer. The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends that average-risk women who are 50 to 74 years old should have a screening mammogram every two years.[https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/breast/basic_info/screening.htm ^1^]
The [http://www.nj.gov/health/ces/public/resources/njceed.shtml New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection (NJCEED) Program] provides comprehensive outreach, education and screening services for breast cancer.

Relevant Population Characteristics
Population characteristics associated with breast cancer survival in New Jersey include neighborhood measures of poverty and inequality [https://cebp.aacrjournals.org/content/28/12/1958.full (Wiese et al., 2019)] as well as race/ethnicity [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6706320/
(Kulkarni et al., 2019)].

Health Care System Factors
According to the [https://www.cancer.gov/types/breast/hp/breast-screening-pdq National Cancer Institute], there is solid evidence that screening mammography reduces breast cancer-specific mortality for women aged 60 to 69 years and fair evidence of the same benefit for women aged 50 to 59 years.
