Abstract
ABSTRACT
Objectives:
We aim in this research to evaluate the role of screening of women for exposure to environmental estrogens and to determine its predictive value for early detection of breast cancer.
Material and Methods:
Fifty adult women with breast cancer who were referred to the radiology department were included as the study group. The cases were compared to control group of fifty women who were referred to the radiology department for routine screening for breast cancer and had no breast complaint or abnormalities detected. All women in both groups were subjected to a comprehensive structured questionnaire including the following: age, residency, marital status, parity, occupation, breast feeding, family history, age of menarche, age at menopause, hormone replacement therapy, contraceptive pills/injections, applications of cosmetics (body lotion, cream, make up, foundations, perfumes), wearing bras, implant, use of plastic wrappings, use of bottles/foams, dietary habits (fast/fresh food), chest irradiation, complaint of women (breast mass, pain, nipple discharge, skin discharge), history of exposure to other possible risk factors such as smoking, exposure to chest irradiation, radon, asbestos, pesticides and children toys. The collected data were organized, tabulated and statistically analyzed using statistical package for social science, version 16.
