“…Level of education has been described a risk factor in breast cancer development [51]. Findings in Filipino women [52] indicated that the risk is almost double for women who had received a tertiary education compared with those who received only a minimal education, or primary and/or high school certificates, since time spent in getting educated followed by building a career contribute to delay in marriage and possibly conception [53]. The level of education has been suggested to affect other factors associated with breast cancer risk-including reproductive patterns (parity and age at first birth) and lifestyle behaviours (physical activity and diet) [51].…”

Background: Breast cancer remains intractable and the leading cause of cancer related death among women. The appearance of breast tumour and its progression poses great clinical unpredictability before and after diagnosis, therapy and appearance of recurrent secondary deposits. Various immunological changes occur during breast tumourigenesis, and can be of value in the surveillance of the diseases. In our environment, there is scanty information on the value of these immunological factors especially immunoglobulins in screening and surveillance of breast cancer-hence the need for this study. Methodology: A total of 59 females (mean age = 48.7 ± 8.7 yrs) with clinically and pathologically confirmed breast cancer were prospectively recruited alongside with 20 patients with benign breast tumour representing patients' control group and 20 apparently healthy age and sex-matched control subjects (mean age = 47.5 ± 13.4 yrs). Breast cancer patients were further grouped into early stage breast cancer (N = 25) and advanced stage breast cancer (N = 34). Patients were subjected to standard treatment modalities and pre-and post-treatment samples collected at intervals. Samples were assayed for IgG & IgM by immunoenzymatic methods and IgA by immunoturbidimetric method. Questionnaires and measurements were used to obtain necessary demographic and anthropologic information from the subjects. Results: Results showed that in all stages of breast cancer and treatment groups, the mean serum IgG, IgM and IgA levels respectively were not significantly raised (P > 0.05) when compared. Results also showed that majority (59%) of the patients presented at advanced stage of the disease. Low level of education and low income were among the prevailing risk factors. Majority (63%) of the cases had body mass index suggesting obesity (>30 kg/m 2). Conclusion: Results suggest that serum immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM and IgA

Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women contributing to about 18% of all cancers worldwide. There are many well-known risk factors for breast cancer, and identifying these risk factors will help to reduce the mortality rate. This study is aimed to compare risk factors and the frequencies in women with benign and malignant breast tumor. This case-control study, was done with 60 women with benign breast tumors as controls and 60 women with malignant breast tumors as case They were randomly selected and checklist was made. Based on the information in the forms of pathology or from medical records or patient contact, data was completed. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS-16 statistical software. The results showed that the mean age at diagnosis (p_value=0.033), the frequency of positive family history of cancer (p_value=0.028) and the mean age at menarche (p_value=0.01) in the two groups was statistically significant difference. However, the frequency of having an abortion (p_value=0.391), the mean age of first child birth (p_value=0.641), the mean months of breastfeeding (p_value=0.281) and the frequency of having a perfect pregnancy (p_value=0.58) did not show significant difference between the two groups. The mean age at diagnosis and the frequency of positive family history of tumors in the case group, and the mean age of menarche in the control group is higher implication?
