| Popis: | BACKGROUND In Indian women one of the most commonly diagnosed cancer is breast cancer. We wanted to analyse the demographic parameters, receptor status and stage of breast cancer patients in Indian scenario. METHODS A cross sectional study was performed and information was collected from 300 breast cancer patients on demographic profile, socioeconomic status, history of breast cancer in family, religion, and address of patients including data on hormonal status and stage. Anthropometric assessment of BMI was done. Data was collected, analysed, and presented in frequency tables and figures. RESULTS The mean age of diagnosis of patients of breast cancer was 45±10 years with majority (75%) being Sikhs and 57% belonging to rural areas. Only 9% were from upper socioeconomic status and 32% from lower socioeconomic status. About 15% had positive family history. About 39% were overweight and 22% were obese. 53% had stage 2 and 36% had stage 3 at the time of diagnosis. The prevalence of ER, PR and HER- 2/neu expression were 45.6%, 35.7% and 14.4% respectively. CONCLUSIONS Breast carcinoma in our population is present at a younger age than western population. Other than the established risk factors, socioeconomic status and higher BMI were included in our study. A higher percentage of women present in late stages thereby pointing towards the need for educating women about breast cancer and its early detection by screening programmes. |
