“…This increase is not significant and agrees with findings from two recent studies that reported that the mean age of Iraqi breast cancer patients was 52.0 and 49.4 years. 7,19 Other studies on women in countries such as Lebanon, Turkey, Bahrain, and Jordan within the middle eastern region have reported comparable findings. 21–23 The disease was unilateral in the majority of cases with a comparable distribution between the left (33.25%) and right (31.96%) breasts.…”

“…Histopathologically, a large proportion of the breast cancer patients had ductal disease (82.90%), similar to the study by Karim et al which observed that as much as 83.17% of the study population had ductal cancers, followed by 5.94% tubular, 6.93% lobular, and other types. 19 There is scarcity of data on the pathological profile of breast cancer patients in Iraq which makes it difficult to compare this study’s findings. However, with the relatively better prognosis of patients with ductal disease, especially when it is still at the ductal carcinoma in-situ stage, there may be a good chance for survival of the majority of breast cancer patients in the country.…”

Introduction Cancer is one of the major causes of death worldwide. Health systems whether in developed or in developing countries like Iraq are burdened with different programs to control cancer. Our study is intended to provide information about cancer in the region of Middle Euphrates Area (MEA) of Iraq, which is one of the major areas in Iraq that exposed to the depleted Uranium (DU) at different time periods. Therefore, we are aiming to explore more information about the behavior of cancers in this region of Iraq (pattern and distribution). Aim: our study aims to describe the landscape of cancer with wide focus on the clinicopathological behavior of different types of cancers in MEA of Iraq to determine whether any differences have cropped up over time in Iraqi patients presentations. Patients and methods This study is a retrospective descriptive study design. Data were collected from a single tertiary cancer care oncology centre for three consecutive years from 2016 up to 2018. This Database covers nearly the entire Middle Euphrates area of Iraq. All statistical tests performed at a 95% level of significance with a two-sided p-value of 0.05 indicating statistical significance. Results and conclusion According to this study, the three most common cancers among the entire population were breast, lung, and brain cancers. Females constituted 57.0% of the entire study. Most cancers including breast cancer presented with aggressive clinicopathological behavior. Middle age groups of both sexes are more at risk of developing different cancers. Such findings are important and pave the way for future scientific cancer control programs in Iraq especially for breast cancer. The cancer appears to be flourishing in Iraq , which could be due to multiple factors. Finding a new strategy to predict the treatment response, recurrence or aggressiveness of cancers in Iraq is crucial.

Background: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in women worldwide, and it is also the second most significant cause of cancer death. Lifestyle is important to change among breast cancer women to prevent breast cancer recurrence and improve breast cancer prognosis. this study aims to explore the lifestyle changes of patients with breast cancer after surgery.Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study design was directed to find out the change of lifestyle after breast cancer surgery among females who had breast cancer surgery in Duhok Governorate. The study was conducted on 110 patients who had breast cancer surgery in Duhok Governorate.Results: the mean age of the patients was (49.4 ± 10.1 SD) ranging from (30 to 71 years) and 75.5% were married, 57.3% were from urban, 86.4% were Muslim, 47.3% were illiterate, finally, 78.2% were unemployed. Sleep patterns of the patients have not changed after breast surgery and most of them were normal sleepers 62.7%. physical activity has reduced significantly (p-value= <0.0001) from preoperative to postoperative time. The study found that a significant improvement has been developed in the diet items of the patients, including increasing fruits and a reduction in creamy foods, sweet patisseries, soft drinks, and sugar-sweetened juices.Conclusion: the current study concluded that the lifestyle was not changed in physical activity and sleep. But a significant change in terms of diet was founded among patients after breast cancer surgery
