ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is the commonest cancer in females in western countries. No study to determine the prevalence of this disease however has been carried out yet in Iran. We investigated 10,000 women aged 35 years and older from Shiraz, in southern Iran, to determine the prevalence of breast cancer in this region. The rough estimate of the prevalence of breast cancer was found to be 6.6 per 1000 in women aged 35 years and older [95% Confidence Interval 2.5-10.7 per 1000]
