Clinico-morphological patterns of breast cancer including family history in a New Delhi hospital, India-A cross-sectional study

Abstract: Among the various determining factors for development of breast cancer and for its early detection, family history of cancer forms one of the major risk factor. It is important to take an appropriate history for eliciting information pertaining to occurrence of cancers amongst the patients' relatives there by identifying the high risk group. Educating the population about the risk factors would be helpful in early detection of breast cancer.

“…[10] The average age of the patient at presentation is between 45 and 50 years[101112] and similarly observed in present study. The peak age of breast cancer is 60-70 years in western countries and 40-50 years in Asian countries.…”

“…With regard to the parity among the breast cancer patients, all the patients in our study were multiparous and married, although nulliparity is a risk factor for breast cancer. This was comparable to figures shown by Sexana et al (10) . The tumour location for most 35/50 (70%) of patients was on the left breast.…”

“…Most of them were middle aged at presentation. The age at presentation among the studied breast cancer patients was 47.3±5.8 years, this age of presentation was in accordance with the study of Sunita Sexana et al (10) , Raina V. et al (11) , Fakhro A.E. et al (12) , Priya Hazrah et al (13) .…”

“…Early-onset breast cancer may, in part, be biologically different from breast cancer patients in older patients [38]. Family history contributes to only 20% of the early onset cases whereas factors responsible for the rest of the breast cancer cases in young women are not known [39]. Difference in clinical behavior and molecular profile of early onset breast cancer suggest the need for understanding the risk factors and molecular mechanisms involved in development of breast cancer in young women.…”
