Objective:
To explore the risk factors of breast cancer for better control and prevention of the malignancy.
Methods:

Results:
The history of benign breast diseases, family history of carcinoma and multiple abortions were the statistically significant risk factors of breast cancer, while breast feeding was the protective factor.
