Abstract

Background and Aims: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the world. This study is aiming to assess the frequency of breast cancer and other breast diseases in Libyan women attending breast clinic in Tripoli Central Hospital. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey was obtained through interview questionnaires after having obtained ethical approval. Four hundred patients seeking medical consultation in the outpatients' breast clinic of Tripoli Central Hospital, Libya, from August to October 2019 were included in this study. Results: Women aged 35–50 years were the most visiting age group to the breast clinic (53.3%), followed by women older than 50 years and the age group of < 35 years old was the least with about (26%). According to this study, the most common presentation was breast mass (71.8%), the second was breast pain then a nipple discharge with only 8.3%. Patients diagnosed with breast cancer represent 27.5% of patients who attended the clinic, and the majority was having benign conditions. Conclusion: The majority of breast lumps are benign and cancer cases represent <1/3rd of cases attending the breast clinic at Tripoli Central Hospital, Tripoli, Libya. Public health education and awareness campaigns regarding the early detection of breast cancer are needed to reduce cancer mortality.

背景和目的:乳腺癌是世界上最常见的女性癌症。这项研究的目的是评估在的黎波里中心医院乳房诊所就诊的利比亚妇女患乳腺癌和其他乳房疾病的频率。材料与方法:在获得伦理批准后,采用访谈问卷的方式进行横断面调查。本研究纳入了2019年8月至10月在利比亚的黎波里中心医院乳腺门诊就诊的400名患者。结果:35 ~ 50岁是乳腺门诊就诊人数最多的年龄组(53.3%),50岁以上次之,< 35岁最少,约占26%。根据这项研究,最常见的表现是乳房肿块(71.8%),其次是乳房疼痛,然后是乳头溢液(8.3%)。诊断为乳腺癌的患者占到到诊所就诊的患者的27.5%,其中大多数是良性疾病。结论:大多数乳房肿块是良性的,在利比亚的黎波里的黎波里中心医院乳腺门诊的病例中,癌症病例占不到1/3。需要开展关于早期发现乳腺癌的公共卫生教育和宣传运动,以降低癌症死亡率。
