In response to rising incidence and mortality we aimed to investigate the demographic characteristics of patients with operative breast cancer in our region.
We performed a retrospective study of 224 patients who underwent surgery for breast cancer at King Saud University Medical City, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia between 2005 and 2012. Results: We identified a young population overall with a mean age of 48.8±12.2 years (range: 26-93 years). Survival rate were however similar across all age groups with a 10-year overall survival of 87%. Conclusion: Patients in our study were generally younger than those with breast cancer in Western nations. However, unlike Western countries, young age was not associated with worse outcomes.
为应对发病率和死亡率的上升，我们旨在调查我们地区接受手术治疗的乳腺癌患者的人口统计学特征。
我们对2005年至2012年期间在沙特阿拉伯王国利雅得的沙特国王大学医学城接受乳腺癌手术的224例患者进行了回顾性研究。结果：我们发现总体上是年轻人群，平均年龄为48.8±12.2岁（范围：26 - 93岁）。然而，所有年龄组的生存率相似，10年总生存率为87%。结论：我们研究中的患者总体上比西方国家的乳腺癌患者年轻。然而，与西方国家不同的是，年轻并不意味着预后更差。
