e13558 Background: Early detection of breast cancer is important in reducing mortality, morbidity and high socio-economic burden associated with it. Mammography is currently the primary imaging modality used as a screening tool to detect early breast cancer in women experiencing no symptoms as they are most curable in the early stage. The aim of the study is to determine the mammographic outcome in asymptomatic women who presented for mammographic breast examination in Abuja,Nigeria. Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study comprises of 113 asymptomatic women who presented for mammographic examination at the Radiology department of University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada from March 2015 to December 2018. Two basic views (craniocaudal and mediolateral views) of the breast were obtained using EXR-650 machine.Additional views were obtained when necessary. Images of the breast were review by radiologist. Results: The mean age of study population was 40.72 ±10.45years with age range of 35 and 65 years. The mammographic outcome among asymptomatic women who had mammographic examination was negative in 69(61.1%) women and positive in 44(38.9%). The differences observed between the positive and negative mammographic outcome was statistically significant p = 0.01. The positive outcome noted in mammograms of women examined were: benign mass in 18(15.9%) women; 9(8.0%) had benign calcification; 7(6.2%) showed architectural distortion; 5(4.4%) was inconclusive; focal asymmetry in 3(2.6%); and suspicious mass in 2(1.8%). Conclusions: Mammogram is an important tool for screening and diagnoses of breast pathologies. In this study, screening of women reveals various benign and malignant breast changes which necessitate early interventions. Early detection of breast cancer save lives. [Table: see text]

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common type of cancers in women in many countries, ranking fifth in terms of cancer mortality among women. The problem is getting bigger because >70% of the patients of BC present at an advanced stage. There are many ways to prevent BC. Early examination or early detection is one of them, which helps in reducing the severity of BC. Several studies have shown that Breast Self-examination (BSE) is a simple, feasible way for the early detection of BC in low- and middle-income countries. There is evidence that women who correctly practice BSE on a monthly basis are more likely to detect a lump in the early stage of its development, and early diagnosis has been reported to influence early treatment. This review used a non-systematic method, sources were gathered using Google Scholar, Medline, Science Direct, and relevant articles published in English and Indonesian were accessed in full-text pdf format. Articles were analysed, extracted, synthesized and then the evidence was determined. All selected articles used a cross-sectional method with questionnaires as the instrument of data collection. The majority of study sample had unsatisfactory knowledge about BSE, and did not practice BSE frequently. The factors contributing to their unsatisfactory knowledge were: occupation, education, exposure to media information, access to medical personnel, and history of breast-related disease.

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Although immigrant health is an important issue in national health policy, there is a serious shortage of data in many countries. Most studies lack information on educational status, which is a major limitation. This prospective cross-sectional study analyzed a real-world breast cancer population on the influence of immigration background and educational status on participation in breast cancer early detection programs in the federal state of Lower Saxony, Germany. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Data collection was conducted from 2012 to 2016 in six certified breast cancer centers using a standardized questionnaire for patients’ interview and tumor-specific data from the patients’ medical records. <b><i>Results:</i></b> 2,145/3,047 primary breast cancer cases were analyzed. 17.5% of our patients had a history of immigration, including <i>n</i> = 202 first-generation immigrants and <i>n</i> = 168 second-generation immigrants. Most of them were citizens of EU27 member states. No significant difference was seen in age, tumor stage, histology, grading, Ki-67, Her2/neu-status, and hormone receptor status compared to the native cohort. 100% participation rate in the breast cancer early detection programs were seen in patients with no school graduation. With regards to the national mammography screening program, participation decreased significantly with educational status (<i>p</i> = 0.0003). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> No tumor biological differences were seen between immigrants and German natives. In first-generation immigrants, early detection programs were well accepted despite sociocultural and language differences. Participation rate decreased significantly with higher education levels irrespective of country of origin. Immigration background does not have a negative effect on the participation in breast cancer screening. This mainly relates to immigrants from EU27 member states.

BACKGROUND Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and has surpassed cervical cancer in India. As a result of regular mammography screening programs and public awareness, early-stage breast cancer with better prognosis has occurred. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is now a common practice in tumour evaluation which are of importance in diagnosis as well as for deciding the treatment and of prediction of prognosis in breast cancer. The present study was undertaken in view of correlating the histopathology of the tumour and IHC profile with respect to oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR) and HER2 / neu. METHODS The study is a cross-sectional prospective analysis of patients with primary carcinoma of breast who are undergoing surgery over a period of 2 years from September 2017 to August 2019. All specimens were processed and stained with haematoxylin and eosin and immunohistochemistry was done for oestrogen and progesterone receptors and HER 2neu. RESULTS A total of 20 cases of breast carcinoma specimens were studied, whose age ranged from 24 - 72 years of age. All the 20 cases occurred in females. Infiltrating duct carcinoma was the most histological subtype noted in this study comprising 85 % (17 / 20) of cases. In the study 50 % (10/20) of the cases showed ER / PR positivity with negative HER2 / neu while 15 % (3/15) of cases were negative for ER / PR and HER2 / neu and only one case showed positivity for all three markers. 10 cases (50 %) had lymph node metastases in this study. CONCLUSIONS Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in Indian women and is also the leading cause of cancer death in women worldwide. Assessment of receptor (ER, PR and HER – 2 / neu) status along with histopathological grading and staging will guide the clinicians to impart a correct treatment protocols to the patients. It will also be of great help in assessing the prognosis. KEYWORDS Breast Cancer, Histopathology, Immunohistochemistry

Abstract Abstract Background: Breast cancer is the top cancer in women both in the developed and the developing world. The Addis Ababa Cancer registry reported that breast cancer accounts for 34% of all female cancer cases. Many deaths can be avoided if the cancer can be detected and treated early. Practice of breast self-examination is a convenient, no-cost tool that can be used on a regular basis for detecting breast illness at an early stage. Therefore, this study sought to assess the knowledge and practice of BSE among young females at Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Methods: Institutional based cross sectional study was conducted on the total sample size of 381 females using self-administered questionnaire adapted from other studies. The data were entered using Epi-data software version 4.1.1 and then exported to SPSS version 24 for further statistical analysis. The study analysis was done by descriptive and inferential statistics: namely frequency, mean, student t-test, ANOVA, linear & logistic regression. Results: Majority of the participants were single (85.2%), orthodox Christian (67%), and grew up in urban (77.7%) with mean age of 20.84 years. The majority (94.1%) of the participants had no any family history of breast cancer. Almost half (52.5%) of the respondents had heard about breast cancer self-examination, while the media were the main source of information. The study revealed that only as little as 47 (13.1%) respondents did appropriate BSE, while two third of the females not practicing BSE reported that the reasons were, they didn’t know how to do it, forgetfulness, and didn’t have any breast problem. In addition, the females’ previous information about BSE makes the greatest unique contribution to explaining the BSE knowledge level. Moreover, the study indicates that the more age and knowledge the females have, the more likely it is that they will report practicing BSE. Conclusion: Further implementations are needed in addressing young females, making awareness and advocacy campaigns about BSE in order to increase early diagnosis of breast cancer which raises the chances for successful treatment in Ethiopia. Key words: Breast cancer, Breast cancer self-examination, Knowledge, Practice, Ethiopia.
