Introduction: Breast cancer is second most common cancer all over the world. Majority of breast cancer cases are registered to hospital at a later stage of cancer presentation. Objective: To study socio-demographic, clinical presentation and outcome of Breast cancer patients attending tertiary care centre of Gujarat state. Method: This was a retrospective study made up of 5774 patients registered in tertiary care centre of Gujarat state. Data including patient’s socio-demographic information like age, marital status, education level and clinical diagnosis including clinical presentation at time of registration, treatment history etc was collected. The data was analysed using MS office 2010 and Epi Info software version 7.0. Result: The age ranged between 17-99 years, with a median of 50 years and interquartile range of 42-58 years. There were 62.07% patients presented with locally advanced breast cancer, while 17.57% patients had distant metastasis at diagnosis. Significant association (p<0.05) was found between presentation of disease and literacy status. The overall Kaplan-Meier survival rate at 5 years was 35.8% + 5.0%. Survival rate was consistently declining with increase in clinical extension of disease. Conclusion: Majority of patients were in early advanced stage during their first hospital visit which was associated with poor survival. This information may help authorities to focus on early diagnosis of breast cancer.

Prevalence Of Obesity

Background: Breast Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Pakistan alone has the highest rate of Breast Cancer than any other Asian country as approximately 90000 new cases are diagnosed every year out of which 40000 dies. Obesity is also a critical public health problem growing with every passing year in Pakistan and worldwide. Research studies are being conducted worldwide regarding the relation between the two problems. Objective: The objective of this study is to determine the prevalence of obesity in breast cancer patients in a tertiary care hospital in Karachi, Pakistan. Methods: BMI is used as a screening tool for overweight and obesity. According to World Health Organization, a body mass index (BMI) over 25 is considered overweight, and over 30 is obese. A retrospective analysis of 262 patients diagnosed with Breast Cancer during 2019 and 2020 was performed. Patients’ hospital records in Oncology were reviewed. The weight in kilograms and height in centimeters of patients were reviewed. Their BMI was calculated and recorded using the SPSS system. Results: The median BMI was 28.25 kg/m2 with an interquartile range of 25.15 - 31.99 kg/m2. Nearly 80% of the study participants had body mass index higher than normal levels (n=203, 77.5%) and out of them approximately half were overweight (n=104, 51.2%) and the remaining were obese (n=99, 48.7%). Conclusion: We conclude from our study that body mass index is positively correlated with breast cancer occurrence and thus the proportion of females having BMI >= 25 was significantly higher among patients.
