Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women worldwide. We aimed to know the past trends of age-specific breast cancer incidence rates in Faisalabad city.
A retrospective study was designed at Allied Hospital Faisalabad (AHF), Pakistan from 2014-2018. Overall, 12742 cancer patients presented throughout these years, out of which 3390 were breast cancer cases. Descriptive statistics were computed and the results were presented as counts and percentage for categorical variables. Means and standard errors were computed for the continuous variables. For testing the association among categorical variables, a chi-square test of independence was used and the p-values less than 0.05 are reported as significant.
84.70% patients were diagnosed with invasive breast carcinoma and 15.30% were all other types reported in the Allied Hospital Faisalabad. The incidence of breast cancer was outrageous in the 40-49 year-old age group (1021 patients, 30.12%) and the mean age is 45 in all years. An increase of 34.86% was observed from 2014 to 2018. The comprehensive four-year data (2015 to 2018) were further analyzed for histology, surgery, staging and grading pattern as 2014 files data was insufficient to discuss. The stage III and grade III were most common throughout the years from 2015 to 2018 with 33.9% and 55.71% respectively.
Breast cancer is diagnosed more commonly in women than in any other type of cancers in Faisalabad city. There is a need to upgrade the existing hospital facilities to make the women diagnose the cancer at an earlier stage.
乳腺癌是全球女性中最常见的恶性肿瘤。我们旨在了解费萨拉巴德市特定年龄组乳腺癌发病率的过去趋势。
在巴基斯坦费萨拉巴德联合医院（AHF）开展了一项回顾性研究，研究时间为2014年至2018年。这些年里，共有12742名癌症患者前来就诊，其中3390例为乳腺癌病例。计算了描述性统计数据，结果以分类变量的计数和百分比形式呈现。对连续变量计算了均值和标准误差。为检验分类变量之间的关联性，使用了独立性卡方检验，p值小于0.05被报告为具有显著性。
在费萨拉巴德联合医院，84.70%的患者被诊断为浸润性乳腺癌，15.30%为其他所有类型。乳腺癌发病率在40 - 49岁年龄组极高（1021例患者，占30.12%），各年份的平均年龄均为45岁。2014年至2018年观察到发病率增长了34.86%。由于2014年的档案数据不足以进行讨论，因此对2015年至2018年的四年综合数据进一步分析了组织学、手术、分期和分级模式。2015年至2018年期间，III期和III级最为常见，分别占33.9%和55.71%。
在费萨拉巴德市，女性中乳腺癌的诊断比其他任何类型的癌症都更常见。有必要升级现有的医院设施，以便女性能够在更早阶段诊断出癌症。
