Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Breast cancer is the second most common cancer in the world and the most common cancer among women. In this retrospective study data regarding demographic characteristics and treatment outcome was collected from all breast cancer patients for a period of 15 years. More than 50% of patients were diagnosed at a later stage. Triple negative breast cancers constituted about 25%. Five year DFS and OS were 67.4% and 78.7% respectively. An organized breast cancer screening program is the need of the hour.
