Breast cancer ranks as the second leading cause of death In Iraq, following closely behind cardiovascular diseases. The ob-jective of the present research was to assess the fluctuations in hematological and biochemical parameters among breast cancer patients. This research was conducted at Iraq's Al-Muthanna University, specifically at the College of Science, the duration of the sampling phase encompassed the months between November 2022 and May 2023. In the current study, a total of 60 participants were included and categorized into three groups: a group of breast cancer patients (20 individuals), a group of benign patients (20 individuals), and a healthy group (20 individuals). The age of the participants ranged from 20 to 68 years old for both the patients and the healthy individuals. The samples that were gathered were subjected to scrutiny through hematological and biochemical examinations. The study showed Non-significant at (P<0.05) in hematological parameters (RBCs, H.B., PCV, WBCs and Platelet) and biochemical parameters(ALT, AST and Cholesterol) between patients and control groups but they found effect of breast cancer on these parameters. While, we noticed significant at (P<0.05) in Progesterone, Estrogen and Prolactin) between patients and control groups. Based on these findings, we reached the conclusion that breast cancer has an impact on altering certain blood parameters, liver enzymes, and steroid hormones when compared to the control measurements.
