摘要：

Background: Breast cancer is the second most common malignancy among women, next to cervix cancer. Understanding its pathogenesis, morphological features and various risk-factors, including family history holds a great promise for the treatment, early detection and prevention of this cancer. Patients and methods: In an attempt to evaluate the clinico-morphological patterns of breast cancer patients, including their family history of breast and/or other cancers, a detailed analysis of 569 breast cancer cases diagnosed during the years 1989-2003 was carried out. Mean and standard deviation and Odds ratios along with 95% confidence intervals were estimated. χ2/Fisher's exact test were employed to test for proportions. Results: Mean age of the patient at presentation was 47.8 years, ranging from 13-82 years. Among the various histo-morphological types, Infiltrating duct carcinoma (IDC) was found to be commonest type, i.e. in 502 cases, (88.2%), followed by infiltrating lobular carcinoma (ILC) in 21 cases (3.7%) and other types forming 9.(1%). Out of 369 cases where TNM staging was available, stage IIIB (35.2%) was the commonest. Lymph node positivity was observed in 296 cases (80.2%). Out of 226 cases evaluated for presence of family history, 47 cases (20.7%) revealed positive family history of cancer, among which breast or ovarian cancer were the commonest type (72.0%). Patients below 45 years of age had more frequent occurrence of family history is compared to above 45 years. Amongst familial cases, Infiltrating duct carcinoma was the commonest form accounting for 68.8% cases while ILC was found to be in a higher proportion (12.5%) as compared to nonfamilial cases (5.4%). Conclusion: Among the various determining factors for development of breast cancer and for its early detection, family history of cancers forms one of the major risk factor. It is important to take an appropriate history for eliciting information pertaining to occurrence of cancers amongst the patients' relatives there by identifying the high risk group. Educating the population about the risk factors would be helpful in early detection of breast cancer. © 2005 Saxena et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
