A Single-center Clinicopathological Study of Carcinoma Breast
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Both disease and surgery of the breast evoke a fear of mutilation and loss of feminity. Cosmetic considerations, false vanity, and fear of infertility have hindered early diagnosis and prompt treatment of breast cancer from earliest recorded history to until today. Materials and Methods: This study is a prospective study of carcinoma breast done at Sri Ramachandra Medical College and Research Institute from June 2014 to August 2016. It comprises 122 cases of cancer breast which presented at the outpatient department. Results: According to our study, it is quite evident that the peak incidence of carcinoma breast in our semiurban population is in the fifth and sixth decade. Most of our patients were postmenopausal and had a body mass index >35 and had two or more children. The majority of our cases (42.6%) preoperatively were staged as IIA, which was reflected in the postoperative staging as well (Stage IIA - 39.3%). It was also found that Stage IIIC differed vastly in the postoperative staging (16.4%) as compared to its preoperative status (1.6%). Conclusion: There is a vast difference (50.77%) between the pre- and post-operative staging of the nodes in cancer breast. The pathological nodal staging is marginally higher compared to clinical staging in premenopausal women than in postmenopausal women.
