Abstract

Objective: Although there are a lot of risk factors in development of breast cancer in some studies, in which effectiveness of these factors are researched, some controversial outcomes can be seen. The aim of this study is to interrogate presence of some risk factors which are thought to be related with breast cancer. Material and Methods: This research is performed as a cross-sectional case control study between December 2009 and May 2010 to interrogate the risk factors which are thought to be related with breast cancer. 70 patients with breast cancer and 140 control patients (with other problems than breast diseases) who refer to the general surgery clinics are involved in this study (210 patients totally). Including the already known risk factors in breast cancer the variabilities such as diet, presence of base station close to the living place, use of deodorants, the daily cell phone usage time and stress were interrogated in questionnaires. Results: The mean ages of the patients were 47.99 (ages of 18-85) in breast cancer group and 52.37 (ages of 31-83) in control group. There wasn&#8217;t any statistically significant difference in demographic findings in both groups. The mean number of children owned was 2.48 in breast cancer group and 3.26 in control group. A negative correlation was found between the number of children owned and the breast cancer (p<0.005). The breast cancer rate was found to be lower as the number of children increased. Curettage rate was higher in breast cancer group (43.5%) compared to the control group (33.6%) which was statistically significant. Stress level in daily life was found to be much more higher in breast cancer group (55.7%) than the control group (38.4%) and this finding was also statistically significant (p<0.005). Conclusion: Among the risk factors which are thought to be related with breast cancer only the level of stress in daily life was found to have meaningful relationship. The incidence of breast cancer decreased as the number of children increases.

Özet

Amaç: Meme kanseri oluşumunda etkili çok sayıda risk faktörü olmasına rağmen bunların araştırıldığı çalışmalarda çelişkili bilgiler ortaya çıkabilmektedir. Çalışmamızın amacı meme kanseri ile ilişkili olabileceği düşünülen bazı çevresel risk faktörlerini sorgulamaktır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu araştırma Aralık 2009- Mayıs 2010 tarihleri arasında meme kanseri için risk faktörü olduğu düşünülen etkenleri sorgulamak amacıyla kesitsel vaka kontrollü bir çalışma olarak etik kurul onayı alınarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya, genel cerrahi polikliniğine başvuran 70 meme kanserli hasta ve kontrol grubu için meme hastalıkları dışında bir şikayet nedeniyle başvuran 140 hasta olmak üzere toplam 210 hasta alınmıştır. Hazırlanan anketler ile bilinen bazı risk faktörleri dışında beslenme şekli, yaşanan yere yakın baz istasyonu varlığı, deodorant kullanımı, cep telefonu ile günlük konuşma süresi ve stres değişkenleri araştırılmıştır. Bulgular: Hastaların ortalama yaşı meme kanseri grubunda 47.99 (18-85 yaş), kontrol grubunda 52.37 (31-83 yaş) olarak bulundu. Her iki grupta demografik bulgularda istatistiksel olarak anlamlı fark görülmedi. Meme kanseri grubunda ortalama çocuk sayısı 2.48, kontrol grubunda ise 3.26 idi. Çocuk sayısı ile meme kanseri arasında negatif bir korelasyon bulundu (p< 0.005). Çocuk sayısı arttıkça meme kanseri oranının azaldığı görüldü. Meme kanseri grubunda kürtaj oranı (%43.5) kontrol grubuna göre (%33.6) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı olmamakla birlikte daha fazla bulundu. Meme kanseri grubunda günlük yaşantısındaki stres düzeyini yüksek derecede tanımlayanların oranı %55.7 idi ve kontrol grubuna göre (%38.4) anlamlı oranda yüksek bulundu (p<0.005). Sonuç: Çalışmamızda meme kanserinde etkili olduğu düşünülen risklerden günlük yaşantıdaki stres düzeyi ve meme kanseri arasında anlamlı ilişki tespit edildi. Çocuk sayısı arttıkça meme kanseri oranının azaldığı saptandı.
