Objective: To determine the risk factors according to age group, gynecological history, personal and family background, and the potential breast cancer protective factors of breast cancer patients who visited the gynecological clinic of the University Hospital of Caracas from January 2013 to December 2015 were determined. Method: Retrospective, descriptive, observational and cross-sectional studies. Result: 110 patients were female; the average age was 53 years and 3 months. The age of menarche is 12 years and 5 months. 77% were menopausal, with an average age of 48 years and 1 month, and only 5% received hormone replacement therapy. 92% were multiple pregnancies, and the first delivery age was 21 years and 5 months. Only 8% were ineffective and 33% had a history of abortion. 24% had a family history of primary or secondary breast cancer. 40% of women use hormonal contraceptives for an average of 21 months, and 72% of women breastfeed. Conclusion: Age, gender, personal and family background are consistent with international publications. In contrast, the use of oral contraceptives is not considered a risk factor, and breastfeeding is not considered a protective factor.
