Figure 3

Incidence of breast cancer and breast mass in pre- and postmenopausal participants. Incidence of breast cancer and breast mass is shown in the various age groups in pre- and postmenopausal participants. Notably, most of the participants diagnosed with breast cancer were premenopausal with a mean age of 38 years and seven (7) participants diagnosed were below 35 years. A single benign mass case was observed in the 71 participants between 45 and 46.6 years. More details including histological classifications of the cases are shown in Table 1. Percentages shown for each age group were calculated based on number of breast disease cases diagnosed in each group over total number of participants. .
