Breast Cancer Frequency Rate Shift Toward Younger Age In IRAQ

Authors(2) :-Abdulghani Mohamed Alsamarai, Shilan Salah Abdula

Breast cancer in Arab countries present at earlier age than in Western countries and early diagnosis may contribute to better treatment outcome.
Aim: To determine the frequency rate in different age groups.
Patients and methods: A total of 148 breast cancer cases included in the study. The analysis of variables performed with stratification of 10 years age interval. 
Results: Age distribution of breast cancer indicated that 20.3% of cases were with age of ≤20 years and 14.9% were with age of 16-18 years. In addition more than half of cases [52.7%] were with age of less than 30 years. Furthermore, 79.7% of breast cancer cases were in women ≤40 years of age.  Only 5.4% of cases were with age of > 45 years. Odd ratio confirmed a significant association between age and breast cancer development in our study cohort.  The highest frequency was in women with age of 21-30 years, followed by those with age of 31-40 years. Age of women with breast cancer significantly influences the CEA and ER mean serum values whether the analysis performed on group or individual stratification. In addition, P53 mean serum level in women with breast cancer was significantly different when the analysis performed on individual stratification, however, non-significant differences was achieved between age group. The same pattern was demonstrated for CA 27-29 and PR.       
Conclusion: Age at diagnosis was with two decades earlier than that in Western countries.
