RESULTS: In our study mean age of our female breast cancer patients was found to be lower compared to the western world, with an average difference of one decade. Majority of the patients were from urban background. Lump in the breast was a dominant symptom. Familial breast cancer was uncommon. Left sided breast cancer was slightly preponderant. CONCLUSION: Most common symptom was lump in breast among postmenopausal women from urban area. Lack of education was responsible for their delayed presentation. Left upper and outer quadrant being the commonest site, Infiltrating duct carcinoma was the most common type. Modified radical mastectomy was found to be a safe operative procedure. Adjuvant chemotherapy and hormonal therapy was found very effective in early stages. Overall survival for stage IV was 60% for 1 year follow up. |
