Almost 2 million fresh breast cancer cases were diagnosed worldwide in 2020. Female patients aged >50 years account for 80% of
breast cancer cases, and 1 in 8 women report an incidence of breast cancer. In our study of age and staging, a total of 294 patients had
included. We observed various histological types of breast cancers like ductal carcinoma (81.63%), lobular carcinoma (6.8%), and
papillary and mucinous carcinoma with 2%. Out of 294 patients, 8 were at stage I, and 100 were at stage IIA. Almost 86 of the patients
were at stage IIB, 44 patients accounted for stage IIIA, and 28 were at stage IIIB and IIIC. We observed that nearly 254 patients are
aged>40 years. About 34% of patients presented to the hospital at stage IIA, and 29.25% came to the hospital at stage IIB. Among 294
patients, 23.8% were at the age of 40-46, 16.3% were at the age of 54-60, and 15% were at the age of 61-67. Appropriate screening
and awareness regarding breast cancer could help the patient for early diagnosis of the disease and increase the patient's survival rate.
