BACKGROUND
Carcinoma of the male breast is generally rare and constitutes 1% of all breast cancers. They often present late in developing countries and therefore has poor prognosis. The aim of this paper is to highlight the pattern of presentation and problems associated with management of this
Breast cancer is a global disease and incidence continues to rise especially in the sub-Saharan Africa. In Nigeria, breast cancer is currently the most common malignancy. This study aimed at describing the pattern of breast cancers in Maiduguri and to determine if there is any significant changing
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer, although reported to be the commonest female malignancy world-wide has not been extensively studied in Eastern Nigeria.
METHODS
A study started in 1987 enrolled all patients with breast disease seen in the author's practice in 4 hospitals located in Eastern Nigeria.
In the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), hospital and population based statistics have shown that breast cancer has the highest crude frequency rate among Saudi women. The scarcity of reports about the disease in the KSA has been the impetus to this analysis about breast cancer in the eastern province
Programmes for early diagnosis of breast cancer are lacking in most countries in the Eastern Mediterranean Region. This paper reviews a nongovernmental screening programme launched in October 2009 in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, in which 14 health centres were covered by 2 mobile

This report presents the patterns of incidence, survival, and mortality of breast cancer in the Middle Eastern (ME) population of California. Cases were identified through surname recognition and population estimates were obtained from census public use files. Rates, trends, and survival in this
Despite many new advances in breast cancer therapy since the 1970s, there are only few reports on improved prognosis in a general population. A follow-up of more than 10 years is rarely reported, and a differentiation according to stage of the disease or between follow-up intervals is seldom made.
BACKGROUND
High breast cancer mortality has been attributed to lack of public awareness, which leads to late diagnoses. As little is known about the level of knowledge and awareness of breast cancer in China, this study was designed to explore it among women in Eastern China.
METHODS
We conducted a
BACKGROUND
The reasons for variation in survival in breast cancer are multifactorial.
METHODS
From 1999 to 2003, the vital status of 9051 cases of invasive breast cancer was identified in the Eastern Region of England. Survival analysis was by Cox proportional hazards regression. Data were analysed
The purpose was to investigate the prevalence rate, characteristics and related factors of breast cancer among women in Eastern China. A total of 122,058 female subjects completed the study, with 320 confirmed cases of breast cancer (crude prevalence: 262.5/100,000; standardized prevalence:
Retrospective review of presentation, treatment and outcome of male breast cancer in a tertiary cancer centre in eastern India. Data of 42 male breast cancer (MBC) patients, who presented between April, 2001 and March, 2008 were collected from institute records with respect to epidemiological
This study reports on the acceptance and adherence behaviors of patients presenting with a clinical suspicion of breast cancer at a breast clinic in Nigeria during a 5-year period (2004-2008). Of the 275 study patients, 28.7% (79 patients) refused a biopsy needed for a definitive diagnosis. Of those
