Abstract
Background: Breast cancer with advanced stages at a young age is a significant new challenge in Sudan. The purpose of this study was to determine the most common presentations of breast cancer patients in western Sudan. Methodology: For this retrospective descriptive investigation, materials for 183 breast cancer patients were obtained from two histopathology centers (Kordofan histopathology center and El-Obeid International Hospital). A full coverage sample was collected, spanning from January 2019 to May 2024. All data pertaining to the patient's essential identifying, clinical, and histological data were gathered. Results: This study looked at 183 breast cancer patients (177 (96.7%) women and 6 (3.3%) men). Their ages ranged from 20 to 90, with a mean ± standard deviation of 50.78 ± 13.6 years. The majority of participants were aged 41-50 years, followed by ≥61 and 51-60 years, with 50/183 (27%), 43 (23%), and 35 (19%), respectively. For clinical appearance, the most common skin change was unremarkable, followed by ulcerated skin change, which accounted for 127/183 (69%) and 48 (26%) respectively. Conclusion: Breast cancer with advanced stages upon presentation is common in Sudan. The majority of patients presented at a younger age and had distinct initial manifestations.
