“…The current study shows that , The majority of the patients were in stage II (63 percent), followed by stage III (23 percent), stage IV(9%), and stage I (5%).The main histological type was invasive ductal carcinoma 93%,while invasive lobular carcinoma only (7%).This agrees with A research in the Maysan province in Iraq which shows that stage II was the most common(52.9%), followed by stage III(29.4%), indicating that the majority of the patients had late stage disease [31]. It also agrees with study in Iraq which shows Stage III cancer was found in 42.9 percent of the patients, whereas stage IV cancer was found in 25% of the patients and Invasive ductal carcinoma was the most frequent histopathologic type(81.4%), followed by invasive lobular carcinoma (6.9 % ) [19].…”

Background: Breast cancer is becoming the most common cancer among women in both developed and developing countries . Breast cancer has been the leading cause of death among Iraqi women for three decades, and it is the second leading cause of death after cerebrovascular illnesses.Objective: To investigate the epidemiological and clinic pathological behavior of breast cancer in Diyala province.Patients and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study conducted at the Oncology Clinic of Baquba Teaching Hospital for 24 months between April 1st and March 31st, 2021. A sample of (257) patients was selected to collect socio-demographic information (age, gender, marital status, history of breast lactation ,history of contraceptive pills, history of breast cancer in family, parity status). Results: The current study shows that more than 55% of the patients were under the age of (50) years. Two hundred fifty one patients (97.6%) were female and( 6) patients (2.4%)were male. from the 251 female patient . Right breast tumor was found in 120 patients (48%) and left breast tumor was found in (127) patients (50.4%) and bilateral breast tumor in (4) patients(1.6%). In terms of breast cancer family history, 28 patients(11%) had a positive family history, while 223 patients (89%) had a negative family history. One hundred fifty seven of patients(63%) had history of breastfeeding and( 94) of patients(37%) had no history of breastfeeding . One hundred forty six patients (58%) had positive history of oral contraceptive pill while 105 patients (42%) had negative history of oral contraceptive pill. twenty two patients (9%) had positive history of smoking while (229) patients (91%) had negative history of smoking . The histopathological result were Invasive ductal carcinoma (I.D.C) in (233) patients (93%) and Invasive lobular carcinoma (I.L.C) in (18) patients. Breast cancer patients were married in 73% of cases, widowed in 13.5 percent of cases, divorced in 2.5 percent of cases, and single in 11% of cases. Most cases belonged to differentiation stage II ( 159) patients (63%), followed by stage III ( 57) patients (23%) , stage I ( 13) patients (5%) and stage IV (22) patients(9%) . Conclusion: The current study concludes that In Iraq, the majority of breast cancer patients were in the second stage, and patients' ages at diagnosis were younger than in other communities. The development and execution of screening programs, as well as the management of risk factors, appear to be critical. Keywords: Breast, Cancer, Patients

PURPOSEThis study aims to describe the pattern of presentation of Iraqi female patients with breast cancer by assessing the grades and stages of their cancers at the time of presentation, to identify patients’ main complaints, and to discover whether there is any difference in presentation between patients in Iraq and those in other countries.PATIENTS AND METHODSThis is a retrospective cross-sectional study that was performed in the National Center of Cancer in 2018. The target population was female patients with breast cancer who came to the Center for treatment and follow-up. A sample of 171 patients was drawn from this population. Self-evaluation forms were used in interviews with the patients to collect personal and sociodemographic data; clinical and histologic characteristics of the patients’ tumors were obtained from their medical records. Ethical approval was obtained.RESULTSForty-five percent of the patients were younger than age 50 years, and 25% were younger than age 45 years. In all, 42.9% of the patients were diagnosed with stage III and 25% with stage IV cancer, and metastasis was diagnosed in 24.1%. In our study population, 53.4% of the tumors were found in the right breast, and 3.9% of patients had bilateral breast tumors. The most common histopathologic type was invasive ductal carcinoma (81.4%) followed by invasive lobular carcinoma (6.9%) and tubular carcinoma (5.9%). The patients’ most common complaints were breast lump (71.3%) and pain (18.9%). No correlation was found between tumor stage and breast self-examination, family history, education, occupation, histopathology, or grade.CONCLUSIONMost of the patients are diagnosed at a late stage when treatment is less effective.

“…In the study carried out by Mutar et al in Iraq, it was reported that 42.9% of the patients were diagnosed with stage III and 25% with stage IV cancer, which are considered late stages [19] . In another study conducted in Maysan governorate in southern Iraq, most of the patients (82.3%) presented with advancedstage disease, stages II and III [35] . Late presentation was also found in another Iraqi study [36] , in which 47% of the patients presented with advanced stages of the disease and only 9.8% presented with stage I.…”

Background Breast cancer is a growing concern in Iraq, posing significant health challenges for Iraqi women. The objective of this study was to describe the demographic and clinical characteristics associated with breast cancer among Iraqi women, with a specific focus on age-related differences. Materials and Methods Medical records of 500 female patients diagnosed with breast cancer between 2017 and 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Demographic information, clinical history, presentation details, treatment modalities, and outcomes were collected and analyzed. Results Among the studied cohort, 62.4% of breast cancer cases were diagnosed in women aged 50 and older. Marital status correlated significantly with age, with 89.9% of those diagnosed before 50 being married compared to 74.7% of those diagnosed after 50. Notably, 48% of patients diagnosed before 50 had breastfeeding duration of 1–3 months, contrasting with 28.5% of those diagnosed after 50. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, heart disease, and vitamin D deficiency were significantly more prevalent among patients diagnosed after 50. Clinical presentation revealed 67.8% with tumor stage II. Metastasis to lymph nodes occurred in approximately 50% of patients. Among patients who were diagnosed after 50 years of age, 34% had metastasis, compared to 22.9% of those diagnosed before the age of 50. Mortality rates were higher in patients diagnosed after 50 (23%) compared to those under 50 (12.8%). Conclusion The findings emphasize the need for targeted public health campaigns, early detection initiatives, and treatment optimization to improve patient outcomes and mitigate the burden of breast cancer.
