“…Majority of our patients were having T2 stage (50%) followed by 19.04% having T4 stage and nodal involvement in our study was also more which is as per the study conducted by Kumar et al which says Axillary lymph node involvement gets increased as the tumour size gets increased. 11 In our study majority of patients were having stage IIB (52.38%) followed by 36.90% having stage III which is similar to the study conducted by Wani et al 10 85.71% of patients in our study had invasive ductal carcinoma followed by 4.76% having medullary carcinoma and 9.52% having invasive lobular carcinoma which is similar to the study conducted by Bera et al and Mistry et al 12,13 Metastatic disease in our study group was 4.76% surprisingly lower than reported by other Indian studies, but it was comparable to the incidence reported from developed countries. [14][15][16] 17 In India, the prevalence of triple-negative tumour (31%) is more as compared to the Western country.…”

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women and one of the most important causes of death among them. The present study tries to evaluate the demographic, clinical, and pathological profile of female breast cancer patients in Kashmir Methods: This study was done in government medical college Srinagar, department of radiation oncology. A retrospective review of 84 patients of breast cancer treated between January 2021 and March 2023 was done. Results: A total of 84 patients were taken for this study. Most patients presented in the 4th and 5th decade of life with a mean age of 45.5± 8.58. 50% of the patients were having T2 followed by 19.04% having T4 and 16.66% having T1 while 14.28 % had T3 stage. 32.1% of patients were having N0 nodal status, 25.0% were having N3 followed by 23.80% had N1 and 19.04% had N2 nodal disease.52.38% were having stage II and 36.90% were having stage III and 4.76% were having stage IV. 85.71% were having invasive ductal carcinoma, 9.52% were having invasive lobular carcinoma and 4.76% were having medullary carcinoma. 23.80% of patients were Triple +, 27.38 % of patients were Triple Negative, 25.0% were ER+/ PR+. Conclusions: The incidence of female breast cancer was more in the age group of 41–50 years. Stage II was more followed by Stage III. The most common histopathology type was invasive ductal carcinoma. Triple negativity was seen more in our patients.

“…This finding corresponds with the finding in other studies where less than 1% of the patients with breast cancer are male. 8 , 11 , 14 The lower prevalence of breast cancer in males is due to the presence of insignificant estrogen levels in males. Disruption of circulating levels of sex hormones, particularly estrogen, progesterone, and androgens is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in females.…”

Introduction: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide both in terms of incidence and mortality. Its incidence has been on an increasing trend in developing nations including Nepal, however, there is very limited evidence of its demographic profile in our setting. This study aimed to find out the prevalence of breast cancer among cancer patients visiting the Department of Internal Medicine of a tertiary centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among cancer patients visiting the Department of Internal Medicine of a tertiary care centre using retrospectively collected data from 1 August 2022 to 30 July 2023 after obtaining ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. Histopathologically confirmed cancer patients were included and those with incomplete and duplicated data were excluded. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 2067 cancer patients, the prevalence of breast cancer was 102 (4.93%) (4.00-5.87, 95% Confidence Interval). The mean age was 50.51±2.08 years. The most commonly affected age group was 40 to 60 years constituting 61 (59.80%) patients. Histologically, invasive breast cancer of no special type was the most common and was found in 91 (89.22%) patients. Conclusions: The prevalence of breast cancer was similar to other studies done in similar settings.

“…Due to a lack of awareness, appropriate health-care facilities, and inadequate screening methods, many cases are diagnosed in advanced stages. 4,5 Locally advanced breast carcinoma (LABC) remains a difficult problem, and even with multidisciplinary treatment, breast cancer recurrence will occur in many patients. NACT for the treatment of breast cancer was introduced in the 1970s for patients with locally advanced diseases.…”

Patterns of failure in locally advanced female breast carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery and radiotherapy – A prospective study

et al. 2023

Background: The use of combined modality therapy including surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy increases five survival rates in stage IIA and stage IIIB disease to 80% and 45%, respectively. Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NACT) eradicates micro metastasis present in the body and also improves resectability. Aims and Objectives: The main aim of this study was to determine the locoregional recurrence and distant recurrence rates and thereby define clinical and pathological predictive factors for recurrence. Materials and Methods: This was a single institutional prospective study carried out in the Department of Radiotherapy, RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata. From January 2017 to December 2019, according to inclusion and exclusions criteria, a total of 1183 histologically and/or cytologically proven breast carcinoma patients were included in this prospective study. Results: Breast conservative surgery was done in 16.5% of patients and the rest of the patients underwent modified radical mastectomy. Seven patients had undergone toilet mastectomy with the specimen. From the pathological review of the surgical specimens, 15.0% of patients achieved pathological complete response, while 19.4% of patients had clinical complete response. A total of 150 patients out of 1183 patients (12.67%) had disease recurrence. Conclusion: Local treatments, either surgery alone and/or RT alone, are inadequate therapies for locally advanced breast cancer patients, and multidisciplinary treatment should be used, to reach better management. Inoperable locally advanced breast carcinoma can be converted into operable by NACT.
