Area of Science:

Oncology
Public Health
Biostatistics

Background:

Breast cancer is a significant health concern globally and in Malaysia.
Understanding risk factors is crucial for early detection and prevention strategies.
Existing data management systems may lack the enhanced capabilities for comprehensive risk factor analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze breast cancer risk factors in Malaysian women using an enhanced database system.
To identify demographic and lifestyle factors associated with breast cancer incidence.
To develop a user-friendly tool for breast cancer data management and analysis.

Main Methods:

A new enhanced computerized database management system using MySQL was developed.
Patient data from Malaysian hospitals were collected and stored.
An automatic calculation tool and graphical user interface were integrated for data analysis and visualization.

Main Results:

Breast cancer incidence is highest among Malay women, followed by Chinese and Indian women.
The peak age for breast cancer incidence is between 50 and 59 years.
Older age and reduced breastfeeding are associated with increased breast cancer risk.

Conclusions:

The study highlights ethnic and age-specific breast cancer risks in Malaysia.
Breastfeeding appears to be a protective factor against breast cancer.
Further investigation is required to clarify the role of weight status in breast cancer risk.
