Breast cancer, a global health concern predominantly affecting women, recorded 2.3 million new cases and 685,000 deaths in 2020. Alarmingly, projections suggest that by 2040, there could be over 3 million new cases and 1 million deaths. To assess breast cancer prevalence in 24 rural villages within a 60 km radius of NIMS Hospital, Tala Mod, Jaipur, Rajasthan, North India 303,121. A study involving 2023 participants conducted initial screenings, and positive cases underwent further tests, including ultrasound, mammography, and biopsy. SPSSv28 analysed collected data. Among 2023 subjects, 3 screened positive for breast lumps. Subsequent clinical examination and biopsy identified 1 normal case and 2 with breast cancer, resulting in a prevalence proportion of 0.0009 or 98 per 100,000. This study helps fill gap in breast cancer prevalence data for rural Rajasthan. The results highlight a concerning prevalence of breast cancer in the rural area near NIMS hospital, emphasizing the urgent need for increased awareness, early detection, and better healthcare access. Challenges like limited resources, awareness programs, and delayed diagnosis contribute to this high incidence. To address this, comprehensive approach is necessary, including improved screening programs and healthcare facilities in rural areas. Prioritizing rural healthcare and evidence-based strategies can reduce the burden of breast cancer and improve health outcomes.
乳腺癌是一个全球性的健康问题，主要影响女性，2020 年记录了 230 万例新发病例和 68.5 万人死亡。令人震惊的是，预计到 2040 年，新发病例可能超过 300 万例，死亡人数将达到 100 万。为了评估印度拉贾斯坦邦斋浦尔塔拉莫德 NIMS 医院周围 60 公里范围内的 24 个农村村庄的乳腺癌患病率，对 303121 名参与者进行了一项研究。研究包括 2023 名参与者进行了初步筛查，阳性病例进一步进行了超声、乳房 X 光检查和活检等检查。使用 SPSSv28 分析收集的数据。在 2023 名受试者中，有 3 名经筛查乳房有肿块。随后的临床检查和活检发现 1 例正常病例和 2 例乳腺癌病例，患病率为 0.0009 或每 10 万人 98 例。这项研究有助于填补拉贾斯坦邦农村地区乳腺癌患病率数据的空白。研究结果突出了 NIMS 医院附近农村地区乳腺癌令人担忧的高发病率，强调了提高认识、早期发现和更好的医疗保健机会的迫切需要。资源有限、宣传计划和诊断延迟等挑战导致了这种高发病率。为了解决这个问题，需要采取综合方法，包括改善农村地区的筛查计划和医疗设施。优先考虑农村医疗保健和基于证据的策略可以减轻乳腺癌的负担，改善健康结果。
