Background: The risk features for breast tumor in females can be
affected by environmental factors as well as genetic predisposition.
Among environmental factors, sociodemographic characteristics have
been linked to danger of breast tumor acquisition in a substantial
number of previous research projects and clinical reports, but the
conclusions of these reports were contradictory. In this study, we
wanted to figure out the link between a number of sociodemographic
factors and breast cancer.
Aim of the study: Is to evaluate the sociodemographic features that
are associated with breast tumor.
Patients and methods: The existing cross sectional training stayed
based on the retrieval of clinical case reports of females detected with
breast tumor during the previous 10 years in Adiwaniyah Teaching
Hospital, Adiwaniyah Province, Iraq. The following data were
specifically looked for and reported: age, body mass index, residence,
Results: Stage II disease showed significant association with
housewives, low income, positive family history and smoking
(p<0.05), but it was not significantly associated with, age, gender,
residence and marital status (p>0.05). Most of the cases were of
stage II accounting for 78.5 followed by stage I (21.5%).
Conclusion: sociodemographic characteristic of patients with breast
cancer can be important determinate of advanced stage and late
presentation of the disease.
