ABSTRACT: Our objectives were to determine the frequency of
breast cancer in young women, to determine the risk factors for breast cancer
in young women, to detail the diagnostic process of the disease, to determine
the different therapeutic strategies. This was a retrospective and descriptive study going
from January 2005 to December 2021, a period of 17 years. The study involved 87
women with an average age of 33.2 years. Patients consulted 66 times or 75.9% for breast mass. The size of the tumor was greater than or equal to 5 cm in 62 patients; it was localized in the supero
external quadrant 41 times or 47.1%.
Molecular classification revealed the following results: Luminal A 21.4%; receptive (HER2) positive 28.6%, and triple negative 42.9%. Stage II was the most
represented with 47.4%. Histology found infiltrating carcinoma of non-specific
type in 76 patients. The
treatment was mastectomy axillary dissection in 66 patients, quadrantectomy +
axillary dissection in 6 cases (6.9%) associated with radiotherapy in 6
patients, chemotherapy was performed in 79 of our patients and hormone therapy
in 10 patients. Conclusion: Breast cancer is frequent in our country. Patients generally consult us
at a late stage. The possibility of determining certain receptors and carrying
out certain non-surgical treatments on site would improve the prognosis.
