“…In this study, there is a significant association between the ages of the patients and hormone receptor status. In this study, Immunopositivity of breast carcinoma for Her2-neu among subjects was 12.9% and is similar to previous works done in Nigeria,17.1%,8.2%,and 12.5% documented in Southwestern and south southern Nigeria respectively (Nwafor & Keshinro, 2015;Omoniyi Esan et al, 2015;Olopade, Oluwasola, & Ebili, 2014). The value of the present study is within the range of 10 to 25% documented in most studies worldwide.…”

“…The mean age is similar to the mean age of 41.6 years documented in another study on breast cancer done in our centre (Nzegwu et al, 2008). It is similar to the mean ages of 46.7 years, 48 years and 49.5years reported in the northeastern and south southern parts of Nigeria, respectively (Imam et al, 2017;Oboma et al, 2017;Nwafor & Keshinro, 2015), but differs from the mean ages of 50.7 years and 52.5 years reported in southwestern Nigeria and Ghana respectively (Omoniyi Esan et al, 2015;Seshie et al, 2015). The mean age in this study also differs from the mean age of 56.5% reported in Western countries like the USA (Carey et al, 2006).…”

“…The prevalence of BC is increasing in both developed and developing countries (4), accounting for 19% -34% of all cancer cases among women around the world (5). This disease can affect people worldwide and result in high rates of mortality (6). Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment can decrease the overall rate of mortality.…”
