Abstract :
Cancer is one of the most important
health problems in the world. In developed countries,
about 55 % of the burden of diseases is associated with
cancer. The incidence of cancer is rapidly increasing in
these countries. Breast cancer is the most common
cancer in females in Iraq and the world continues to be
one of the main causes of cancer-related death. The
prevalence of breast cancer in females is rising. The
mortality rate by breast cancer can be reduce by regular
breast cancer screening program for early detection and
prevention.
Methodology: - A descriptive study was performed to the
determine prevalence and Mortality among women with
Breast Cancer. The study was carried out in Al Sadr
medical city and Middle Euphrates Cancer Center on Al
Najaf Al -Ashraf city during the period from January
11th, 2019 to July 12th 2019. A Non Probability
"purposive" sample of (413) patients with breast cancer
were selected based on criteria of female only in sample
study and 2017 and 2018 years only.
Result: - Data were collected by patient's records to
identify the prevalence and mortality. The Data was
analysis through using mean, Standard Deviation,
frequency, and percentage. The study findings that the
highest age group of sample was ranging from (46 – 60)
have 47.1%. Majority prevalence the patients related to
side of breast cancer its right side, most of the prevalence
and mortality of breast cancer on 2017 more than 2018.
Conclusion: - The study concluded that: according to
our age group (46-60) years who admitted to hospitals,
Majority of the study sample showed urban residential,
married, illiterate and housewife. Demonstrated the
most women who are admitted to hospitals are
overweight. Majority prevalence the patients related to
side of breast cancer its right side.
Recommendations: - Increased health awareness and
early treatment have led to a reduction in prevalence
and mortality, so we recommend focusing on raising
community health awareness for prevention and early
detection of disease, raising the level of preventive
awareness of the community to avoid risk factors such as
obesity. The development of health programs for early
detection and prevention of the spread of breast cancer,
especially in the urbans, extensive study on the
