Abstract:
Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed and the leading cause of cancer death in women globally. Over the past few decades its incidence has increased but a fall in mortality has been observed due to improvement in survival which is associated with earlier disease detection. This is a prospective cross-sectional descriptive study based on laboratory data of (136) patients with breast cancer carried out from (2012-2017) in Nuclear Medicine and Cancer Research centre - Shendi University and Nuclear Medicine and Cancer Research Centre - Aljazeera University. The investigations were performed on venous blood sample drawn in EDTA container for complete blood count by using auto haematology analyzer (Mindray BC-3000 plus). Regarding anemia among breast cancer, 61/136 (44.9 %) were anemic, while 75/136 (55.1 %) were non anemic. There is high frequency of cancer related anaemia in breast cancer (44.9 %).
