Abstract

The upward trend in breast cancer globally and in India has become a matter of great concern. Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women globally. The objective of the authors’ study was to explore the various risk factors of breast cancer in among women in an Indian context. A search was performed using the search engine Pubmed during years 2005-2011 using key words risk factor and breast cancer and India. They searched criteria found 16 final analyzable articles. Results of the review showed high mortality due to late stage breast cancer diagnosis as women usually present at an advanced stage. The results showed that the predominant reason was because of lack of awareness about the risk factors of breast cancer and nonexistence of breast cancer screening programs. Financial and social reasons were other factors that resulted in delay in seeking advice for this problem resulting in its delayed diagnosis. Educational awareness might be an effective tool for modifying lifestyles and thereby reducing breast cancer risks. Risk Factors of Breast Cancer in Indian Context: A Systematic Review

印度背景下乳腺癌的危险因素:一项系统综述

全球和印度乳腺癌的上升趋势已成为一个令人高度关注的问题。乳腺癌是全球妇女中最常见的恶性肿瘤。作者研究的目的是探讨印度妇女患乳腺癌的各种危险因素。在2005-2011年期间使用Pubmed搜索引擎进行搜索，关键词为风险因素、乳腺癌和印度。他们搜索标准找到了16篇最终可分析的文章。回顾的结果显示，由于晚期乳腺癌的诊断，死亡率很高，因为妇女通常出现在晚期。结果显示，主要原因是缺乏对乳腺癌危险因素的认识和不存在乳腺癌筛查项目。经济和社会原因是导致对这一问题迟延寻求咨询意见的其他因素，从而导致其诊断延迟。教育意识可能是改变生活方式从而降低乳腺癌风险的有效工具。印度背景下乳腺癌的危险因素:一项系统综述
