Abstract

Management of breast cancer in developing country, in contrast to Western countries, is challenging considering more number of advanced cases and poor understanding of the disease and its management by the population and even many physicians. We tried to look prospectively at our experience with breast cancers, trying to optimize the results given the wide- variety of cases we see.
