Objectives: To evaluate the pathological patterns & luminal subtypes of breast cancer patients in the Middle Euphrates region of Iraq. Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was conducted at Al-Hussein Cancer Center in Karbala province of Iraq between January 2012 and August 2020. Results: There were 920 female patients with breast cancer. At the time of diagnosis, the mean age was 50.20 ±11.74 years. The most frequent pathological subtype was invasive ductal carcinoma in 91.85%, and 50.32% of tumors were grade II. Of luminal subtypes, Luminal A was the most prevalent subtype in 53.69%.

“…

There were several risk factors are known for breast cancer such as aging, female gender, smoking, alcohol, obesity, hormonal-replacement therapy and family history. Awareness of these factors and understanding of personal risks are essential factors for early identification, disease prevention and proper management [3][4][5]. Late diagnosis leads to high mortality rates among breast cancer patients, therefore researches on breast cancer prevention are performed largely around the world [6][7].Breast self examination (BSE), screening mammography may help for early breast cancer detection [8][9].

Background: Breast cancer is the most frequently occurring tumor and the first cause of death in females. Low level of understanding early symptoms leads to a late diagnosis and high mortality rates. Aims: To describe presenting symptoms, risk factors, and medical care delays among breast cancer patients in Iraq. Materials & Methods: A retrospective, descriptive study conducted in Al-Hussein center in Karbala province of Iraq between February 2012 and August 2020.Results: There were 101 female patients with breast cancer, median age was 45 years. Most of our patients diagnosed incidentally and only 17.82% of our patients were performing breast self examination. Lack of physical activity was the most common risk factors in more than 74% of patients. Painless breast lump was the most frequent symptom in 85.14% of patients. Majority of our patients 58.42% asked medical help within six months. Limited knowledge about symptoms was the common barriers for early diagnosis in 43.94% of patients. Conclusion: Lack of knowledge about breast cancer had a major concern in our region. Increasing awareness about early symptoms and risk factors is very important for early diagnosis and proper management.
