ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To identify the presence and frequency of various predispose factors of breast cancer in the Region Lagunera (Mexico). PATIENTS AND METHODS: 38 women with breast cancer (Group A, cases) and 24 women without breast pathology (Group B, controls) were analyzed; throughout a questionnaire the variables that have been described as predisposition factors were researched. Group A included patients from the Instituto Mexicano del Seguro Social, Speciality Hospital # 71, Oncology Department in Torreon, Coahuila, from May 1st to October 31st of 1999. At the same time 24 women (Group B), who attended to have an ultrasound and/or a mammography practice in a private clinic in the same city, were polled having a normal result. The means of the two treatments were compared using the SAS program version 6.3. RESULTS: The following variables showed significant difference: mother and father family background with cancer p=0.032; previous breast pathology p=0.0032; hormone consumption p=0.0289; lactation p=0.038 and time of lactation p=0.036.
