CUENCA RODRIGUEZ, Coralia; DESPAIGNE BISET, Ana Esther  y  BELTRAN MAYETA, Yumaile. Risk factors of breast cancer in women belonging to a doctor's office from "José Martí" Urban Center. MEDISAN [online]. 2013, vol.17, n.9, pp.4089-4095. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and cross-sectional study of 70 female patients older than 30 years belonging to the doctor's office No.37 of "José Martí Pérez" Teaching Polyclinic in Santiago de Cuba was carried out from January to June, 2011, aimed at determining some epidemiological risk factors associated with breast cancer. The absolute and relative frequencies were used as summary measures. Among the predominant risk factors there were: no physical exercises (84.2%), overweight or obesity (50.0%) and less than 4 months of breast feeding or no offer of it (37.1%). It was verified that most of the women carried out the monthly breast self-examination (54.2%), but in 8.7% of them the clinical examination was doubtful, reason why they were referred to the Mastology Department.
