“…However, there was a slight increased risk of developing breast cancer among the women using injectable hormonal agents compared to women not using 22 the injectable hormonal agents, although, the relationship was not significant (P>0.05). Though, Kuru et al (2002) found hormonal contraceptive use to be a risk factor of developing breast cancer among Turkish women, this study findings is similar to some studies conducted among Italian (Talamini et al, 1985), United States women (Malone, 1993) and Bangladesh women (Zannat et.al., (2015). They reported no risk between hormonal contraceptive use and development of breast cancer.…”

“…Exposures to hormone-related reproductive factors and risk of breast cancer:-It is well documented that breast feeding practice decreases risk of breast cancer (Kuru et al, 2002;Kim et al, 2007;Ozmen et al, 2009). This study showed that the odd ratio of the relationship between breast feeding, frequency of breast feeding and risk of developing breast cancer was less than one, hence, breast feeding may be a protective factor of breast cancer, although the relationship was not significant (P>0.05).…”

Aim:To determine the association between hormonal contraceptives / other hormonal-related reproductive risk factors and breast cancer among women in Port Harcourt. Background: Despite the known benefits of hormonal contraceptive agents and other well established non-contraceptive benefits, they have been associated with risk of breast cancer among women. In addition to hormonal agents, some other factors have been associated with the risk of breast cancer. Materials and Methods:The study was carried out among patients with clinically and histologically confirmed breast cancer (as cases) and patients without any known cancer (as controls) in the out-patient clinics and wards of the public (and some private) tertiary hospitals in Port Harcourt. All histologically confirmed breast cancer patients were recruited for the study and the controls were individually matched based on age with a matching ratio of 1:1. Results: The mean age for the case control study was 44.67±13.41 (cases) and 46.11±13.76 respectively. The odds of developing breast cancer among the women using oral contraceptive pills was similar to that of women who were not using oral contraceptive pills. The odds of developing breast cancer among the women using injectable hormonal agents was 1.26 times higher among women with breast cancer (OR = 1.26, 95% CI=0.74-2.16), although, the relationship was not significant (P>0.05). Those that were 18 years old at first pregnancy were less likely to develop breast cancer compared to women greater than 18 years old at first pregnancy, the relationship was significant. Conclusion: Injectable contraceptives in this study were associated with higher odds of developing breast cancer among cases than controls though the relationship was not significant. Pregnancy before 18 years of age reduces the odds of breast cancer significantly.

“…Toghether with having family history in first-degree relative increasing the susceptibility to develop BC, where one first-degree relative could doubles the risk and having two first degree relatives increases the risk approximatly 3-times. The findings in present study illusterated that 46.2% have one first degree relative this is even higher than findings of a study conducted in Alexandria, where the 20% of them had first degree cousins and nearly two thirds of the cancers which will appear in the next 25 years will occur due to unawareness of the public (26) . Which surges the need for BC screening for early detection prior to the onset of symptoms through various methods as frequent monthly breast self examination, periodic clinical examination and mammogram and management of breast cancer to decrease the burden of morbidity and mortality associated with the disease (27 …”

The rationale of this study: breast cancer is an increasingglobal public health problem due to its high incidence and mortality. Lots of debates over the actualvalue of screening program at population level continue justifying, enthusiasm for risk-stratified screening is gaining momentum and can be useful for guiding public health strategies of breast cancer prevention. The Gail model is considered the best available means to quantify an individual woman's risk of developing BC and is crucial to provide risk-benefit analysis before deciding interventions designed to lower breast cancer risk. Objectives: to identify the mean five years and lifetime risk development of breast cancer among Egyptian women. Methods: cross sectional study conducted on a sample of 156 women attending family planning clinics using systematic random sampling technique. The instrument used is based on the information required for analysis by the Gail model. Results:after analyzing the collected data according to the Gail Model, about 30% of the sampled females had high risk for developing BC >1.66% with their mean five-year breast cancer risk was 1.53±1.49, and their mean lifetime breast cancer risk up to age 90 years was 20.54 ±11.86. Conculsions:our findings surges the need for BC screening services for early detection directed mainly for women with multiple risk factors making informed decisions about the screening methods best suited to their individual situations.

“…It is well established that women having low-income and worse socioeconomic conditions are at increased risk to develop breast-cancer and have loweravailability of appropriate care (Hortobagyi et al, 2005). The increase in risk of breast cancer associated with positive family history (Kuru et al, 2002;Brant et al, 2010;Hadjisavvas et al, 2010) as well as smoking (Conlon et al, 2010;Sezer et al, 2011). Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among Nepalese women.…”
