Abstract
Background: Breast cancer in women is a major public health problem throughout the world, it accounts for one third of the registered female cancers in Iraq, little is known about the characteristics of females having the disease, and therefore this study was performed. Materials and Methods: Registered data of breast cancer patients was collected from Al-Yarmouk teaching hospital in Baghdad. Analysis of data was done by using the statistical package for social science (SPSS version 23). Results: The study included a total of 200 female breast cancer cases that were registered in Al-Yarmouk teaching hospital from 2013-to the first half of 2017. Their age ranged from 15-80 years old, 86% of the total sample was non-workers, 93.5% were married, and mean age of menarche was 12. 84.5% positive obstetrical history and a positive history of lactation were demonstrated in 79%- 36.5% used a contraceptive method at least once in their lifetime and 22.5% had a positive family history. Conclusions: The disease was found to be highest in the age group (45-49) years. The protective effect of parity was not clearly elicited in this study since 84.5% of the total sample gave birth to one or more children.
