Breast cancer is the first common cancer among women in Meerut city and western India. All breast cancer cases were collected during 2008-2009, of these 60 (21%) death cases out of 285 were found in many hospitals/ home. The survival rates by Kaplan Meier and Estimated survival rate by Logistic Regression for 1, 2 and more than 3 years were found 88.30%, 76.27%&63.63% and 77.38%, 63.98%&49.98% respectively. Cancer stage have <5cm displayed poorer survival rate (51.2%) at more than 3 year than stage <2cm with survival rate (72.73%), and the survival rate in religion, Hindu (55.47%) has better than Muslim with survival rate (54.51%), both were statistically significant. More research and interventions are suggested to formulate and implement strategies to educate and increase the knowledge of communities for healthy life style and disease prevention strategies including early detection of breast cancer to control in India.

Abstract


Breast cancer is the first common cancer among women in Meerut city and western India. All breast cancer cases were collected during 2008-2009, of these 60 (21%) death cases out of 285 were found in many hospitals/ home. The survival rates by Kaplan Meier and Estimated survival rate by Logistic Regression for 1, 2 and more than 3 years were found 88.30%, 76.27%&63.63% and 77.38%, 63.98%&49.98% respectively. Cancer stage have <5cm displayed poorer survival rate (51.2%) at more than 3 year than stage <2cm with survival rate (72.73%), and the survival rate in religion, Hindu (55.47%) has better than Muslim with survival rate (54.51%), both were statistically significant. More research and interventions are suggested to formulate and implement strategies to educate and increase the knowledge of communities for healthy life style and disease prevention strategies including early detection of breast cancer to control in India.
