Dr. Sawli Mahajan, Dr. Rajeev Kumar

Background: The incidence of breast cancer deaths is notably higher in transitioning countries, with an incidence rate approximately 88% greater than in transitioned countries. Hence; the present epidemiological study was conducted for assessing clinical and pathological profile of patients with breast cancer. Materials & methods: A total of 100 patients with confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the patients was obtained. A Performa was made and complete clinical findings were recorded. H and E-stained slides of biopsies all the patients were assessed separately. Histopathological assessment of all the cases was done. All the results were recorded in Microsoft excel sheet and were subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS software. Results: Mean age of the patients was 48.7 years. 63 percent of the patients were of rural residence. Right side involvement occurred in 63 percent of the patients. 23 percent of the patients were nulliparous. While assessing the histopathological profile, it was seen that ductal type was the most common type found to be present in 92 percent of the patients. Lobular, medullary and metastatic carcinoma were the other types found to be present in 3 percent, 2 percent and 2 percent of the patients respectively. Conclusion: Increased public awareness is essential, alongside the rigorous enforcement of screening programs by governmental authorities to facilitate earlier diagnosis.
