Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Introduction: There is scarcity of data regarding the clinical profile of breast cancer from India. Due to the differences in genetics, lifestyle, socio-demographic and other variables there is diversity in the presentation and outcome of breast cancer in India. Present study describes the clinical profile and outcome of breast cancer patients visiting SRT Rural Medical College & Hospital (GMCH), Ambajogai in Beed district of Maharashtra. Methods: This is a study of 66 breast cancer patients who had visited SRTR Medical College & Hospital (GMCH), Ambajogai for treatment during the period of January 1994 to December 1998. The data regarding the location of the lump, histopathological types encountered in present series, clinical stage at presentation, treatment and follow up has been described. Results & Conclusions: Upper outer quadrant of the breast was the site of lump in more than half of patients. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma was the most common histopathological type followed by medullary carcinoma. Most of the patients presented in stage II/III. The most common treatment offered was radical or modified radical mastectomy with referral to higher centre for adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Very few patients came for follow-up i.e. around 15%. Recurrence was common and the common sites for recurrence were breast and axilla. Present study gives the information regarding the clinical profile and outcome of breast cancer patients from the region.
