Epidemiology. Incidence (Philippine Cancer Society - Manila Cancer Registry, 998) Most common cancer among Filipino Women 30./00,000 population (998 Statistics) Second most common cancer in both sexes combined Males: 0.5/00,000 population Male/Female Ratio = :05. Risk Factors Infertility Age-increased risk after 30 Post menopausal hormone replacement therapy Late pregnancy ulliparity Lubular Carcinoma in Situ (LCIS) Family history in first degree relatives Atypical epithelial hyperplasia Early menarche Late Menopause Genetics BRCA genes Prolonged contraceptive use High fat diet -3 alcoholic drinks/day Screening Monthly breast self-examination. Annual breast examination by a trained health worker for all child-bearing women. Annual mammography for women 50 years old and above. For certain high-risk women, baseline mammography at age 35 with repeat upon recommendation of attending physician. Genetic screening and counseling for high-risk patients or if appropriate.
