Background: Breast cancer is the most common
multifactorial cancer in women worldwide and
usually hormonal related. It’s typically detected
either by notice a lump or during a clinical screening and confirmed by immune stain investigation.
Objective: To determine the patterns of breast cancer and its immune stain among patients registered
to national oncology center at Mukalla-Hadramout
(NOC) during period from 2008-2016 .
Methods: A retrospective descriptive study was
conducted to determine the pattern of breast cancer and its immune stain among patients registered
to NOC during 2008-2016.
Results: The most common age group affected
was 41-50 years (32%) followed by 31-40 & 51-
60 years (22.5% & 20% respectively).The most
common type of breast cancer was infiltrating
ductal carcinoma (IDC) (85%), followed by invasive lobular carcinoma (5.5%). There is statistical
significant association between type of cancer and
Estrogen receptor (ER) immune stain while no
statistical significant association between type of
cancer and state of metastasis, Progesterone receptor (PR), and HER2/NEW immune stain.
Conclusion: The breast cancer was mostly affect women during 41-50 years. The most type of
breast cancer is IDC. There is statistical significant association between type of cancer and ER
immune stain while no statistical significant association between type of cancer and state of metastasis, PR, and HER2/NEW immune stain.
