ABSTRACT
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among
women both in the developed and the developing world and
leading cause of cancer death in women. A hospital based
case control study was carried out among 70 women with
breast cancer and 70 women without breast cancer to analyze
the risk factors associated with development of breast
cancer in selected hospitals of Dhaka city. A
semi-structured questionnaire comprise socio-demographic and
socioeconomic related information, reproductive and
obstetric related factor, hormonal Contraceptive and Hormone
Replacement Therapy use, life style related factor (personal
habit, dietary habit, physical activity etc). In adjusted
odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals for
significant risk factors were obtained from logistic
regression analysis. Significant risk was found among
nonworking women (OR 2.7, 1.03-7.1), positive family history
of cancer (OR 2.3, 1.02-5.2) and early menarche (OR 3.4,
1.5-7.9). Family history of cancer, early menarche may play
significant role in developing breast cancer in Bangladeshi
women.
Key words: Bangladeshi women, BMI, Breast cancer and
Risk factor.
