| 520 | |a Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women in Kerala state of India. This study tried to determine the strength of association of known risk factors of Breast Cancer among women in Kerala. An unmatched Case control study was conducted at Regional Cancer Center, Thiruvananthapuram, among 660 newly detected breast cancer patients admitted for surgery during 2003-2004 and 920 controls selected from the hospital and community. Advancing age, delayed first child birth, nulliparity, history of previous breast biopsies and family history of breast cancer among first degree rela-tives were found to be associated with increased risk of breast cancer. History of breast feeding was found to reduce the risk. This study concludes that age and parity play a major role in the occurrence of breast cancer in Kerala. It also suggests that past history of breast symptoms requiring biopsy is associated with increased risk of breast cancer. Longer duration of breast feeding was found to be protective against breast cancer. | ||
