Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death among women worldwide. In addition to the known risk factors, many studies have looked at the possible influence of psychosocial suffering factors on the occurrence of this cancer. In Benin, no study has been conducted in this regard. The objective of our research was therefore to study the exposure to psychosocial suffering factors influence on the occurrence of breast cancer. This study is a case-control study, conducted at the CNHU-HKM over a period of five months, involving patients with breast cancer (cases) and women without breast cancer (controls). Two controls were recruited for every one case. Thus, 180 people were recruited including 60 cases and 120 controls. The mean age was 48.28 (±10.52) years old for the cases and 48.6 (±10.67) years old for the controls. Death of the spouse and divorce were the major events more reported in the cases than in the controls. The risk of developing breast cancer was significantly 03 times higher in subjects who reported the death of their spouse (adjusted OR=3; 95% CI=1.10-8.55; p=0.033). There were no other significant associations for other major life events. There is no significant association between psychosocial distress factors in general and the occurrence of breast cancer. Only the death of the spouse was significantly associated with the occurrence of breast cancer. |
