Abstract :

Breast Cancer is increasing s all over the world. Its incidence is much higher in developed countries than developing countries like India, which indirectly suggest that cause of east cancer is beyond ageing women. Aims : to evaluate and compare various risk factors which may increase risk of east cancer amongst rural and urban women of southern Rajasthan; a tribal belt. Material and Method: we analyzed, retrospective data of east cancer patients of M.B. Hospital from 1992 to 2006, relevant to age, residential status, age of menarche/ menopause, parity, age at 1^st child birth and menstrual status. Results: Rural east cancer patients are younger (<45) than urban women, and majority rural patients were from low socio economic strata (62%). Percentage of 1st delivery after 30 years was almost double in urban patients. We didn�t find any difference in menstrual status and parity between two groups.
