Cancer is a life-threatening disease which causes to lose cohesiveness and orderliness of normal tissue. These malignant cells can spread to any other organ through blood flow or lymphatic flow and develop malignancy over there; this phenomenon is called metastasis. The aim is to focus on treatment pattern and response of drugs in various stages of breast cancer along with epidemiology. It is a non- interventional multicentric observational study. Female patients confirmed with Breast cancer are included in the study. All the relevant data were collected on a patient demographic form after obtaining informed consent from individual patients. In our study, the mean age of presentation in breast cancer patients was 41.35 years. Further it was found that 40.5% (n = 81) majority-female patients with Breast cancer are from Guntur District and 21.5% (n= 43). The majority of women with Breast cancer have hormone receptor expression of ER+/PR+HER2- was found to be 33% (n= 50). In the study on analyzing comorbidities of the study population, it was noted that 28.5% of women were affected with Diabetes mellitus. In our study, it was found that most of the patients with Breast cancer have been most often prescribed with Adriamycin 27.86%. From these observations, we conclude that late menarche may be one of the etiological causes of breast cancer in women, Invasive carcinoma in situ is the most commonly reported breast cancer in the study. Patients have been diagnosed with breast cancer at their stage 3 of progression, which may be the reason for making it mandatory for more than 50% of patients to undergo 6 to 8 cycles of chemotherapy. Coming to the patterns of drug use, ADRIAMYCIN, CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE and DOCETAXEL are the three most commonly used single drug and combinational drug therapies among the study population.

The Difference

Objective: Accurate assessment of breast tumor size preoperatively is important for the initial decision-making in surgical approach. Therefore, we aimed to compare efficacy of mammography and ultrasonography in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of breast cancer. Methods: Preoperative mammography and ultrasonography were performed on 104 women with DCIS of breast cancer. We compared the accuracy of each of the imaging modalities with pathological size by Pearson correlation. For each modality, it was considered concordant if the difference between imaging assessment and pathological measurement is less than 0.5cm. Results: At pathological examination tumor size ranged from 0.4cm to 7.2cm in largest diameter. For mammographically determined size versus pathological size, correlation coefficient of r was 0.786 and for ultrasonography it was 0.651. Grouped by breast composition, in almost entirely fatty and scattered areas of fibroglandular dense breast, correlation coefficient of r was 0.790 for mammography and 0.678 for ultrasonography; in heterogeneously dense and extremely dense breast, correlation coefficient of r was 0.770 for mammography and 0.548 for ultrasonography. In microcalcification positive group, coeffient of r was 0.772 for mammography and 0.570 for ultrasonography. In microcalcification negative group, coeffient of r was 0.806 for mammography and 0.783 for ultrasonography. Conclusion: Mammography was more accurate than ultrasonography in measuring the largest cancer diameter in DCIS of breast cancer. The correlation coefficient improved in the group of almost entirely fatty/ scattered areas of fibroglandular dense breast or in microcalcification negative group.
