Demographic and Clinico-Pathological study of Women with Breast Carcinoma in Wasit Governorate

Abstract

The second most common cause of cancer-related fatalities in women is breast cancer. Breast cancer is a multi-step process that involves several cell types, and it is still difficult to prevent globally. In Iraq, breast cancer is the most frequent kind of cancer. The study included a total of 60 patients. Approximately 31 of the breast cancer patients were diagnosed at age 50 or older; 58.3% came from urban areas. (43.4%) patient with breast cancer who is obese. Positive family history was recorded at 18.3%. Accordingly, 33.3% of these patients presented in advanced stages (IV). The main histological type was invasive ductal carcinoma, in which pathological changes of grade II and III were observed at 76.6% and 16.7%, respectively. We also noticed that women with breast cancer on the left side (55.0%) are more likely. According to the data for ABO blood groups, type O and type B are the most common. Only 71.7% of our tumors were ER-positive, 61.7% were PR-positive, and 33.3 percent were HER2. The majority of tumors (50.0%–20.0%) are luminal. The results of this study support stepping up efforts to create comprehensive strategies for controlling breast cancer in Iraq. In the lengthy battle against breast cancer, these findings are but a minor step forward.
