Abstract Background: Breast cancer remains a significant global health concern, necessitating ongoing epidemiological investigations to understand its patterns and guide effective prevention and treatment strategies. This study aims to provide a comprehensive analysis of the epidemiology of breast cancer over a five-year period in a tertiary care center.

Methods: A 3 year prospective and 2 year retrospective study was conducted, involving a thorough examination of medical records from a tertiary care centre spanning five years (2014-2019). Demographic information, clinical characteristics, and histopathological details of breast cancer patients were collected and analyzed. Descriptive statistics, including frequencies and percentages, were used to summarize the data.

Results: The research encompassed a cohort of 277 individuals diagnosed with breast carcinoma. Surgical interventions revealed that 47.4% underwent modified radical mastectomy, 16.7% lumpectomy. Predominantly in females were affected (99.2%). The highest incidence of cases (29.6%) occurred in the 6th decade, postmenopausal status was noted in 58.8% of females, and the most prevalent clinical manifestation was an enlarging breast lump/mass (83.8%). Left breast involvement prevailed (58.8%), with 53.1% affecting the upper outer quadrant. Infiltrating ductal carcinoma (No special type) constituted the major histopathological subgroup (93.9%). Grade II tumors comprised the largest subgroup. According to TNM staging system most patients presented in stage 3 , followed by stage 2. Immunohistochemical staining for ER, PR and Her2/neu was available in 228 cases of infiltrating ductal carcinoma (NST). Maximum cases were triple negative for all the 3 markers followed by ER positive luminal A breast cancer and Her2 enriched breast cancer.


Conclusions: This study sheds light on the epidemiological landscape of breast cancer in the context of a tertiary care centre, revealing key demographic and clinical characteristics of the patient population. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, including awareness campaigns for early detection, screening programs, and personalized treatment strategies. The data generated from this study contribute to the broader understanding of breast cancer epidemiology and may inform healthcare policies aimed at improving outcomes for individuals affected by this prevalent malignancy. Further research is warranted to explore evolving trends and evaluate the impact of interventions on breast cancer incidence and survival rates in the population served by the tertiary care centre.
