3. France (metropolitan)
At number three on our list of countries with the highest breast cancer rates in the world we have France. The age-standardized rate in France per 100,000 is 104.5, and the number of women who survived five years after their first diagnosis is 230,385. This type of cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in France, and unfortunately, there is also a slight increase in death rates from 80 percent to 87 percent in recent years.
