Introduction: Identification of the frequency of malignancies in different social groups according to climatic conditions is considered a primary component of prevention programs at various levels. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology, survival rates, and geographical distribution of breast cancer in Ilam province, Iran, from 2018 to 2023.
Methods: In this epidemiological study, the data of 410 patients were collected from the cancer registration program and death registration data in Ilam province.
Results: Out of the 410 cases recorded over the five years, 8.5% had died due to breast cancer. The highest prevalence of this disease was in regions with a medium semi-arid climate, while the lowest prevalence was in the extremely dry climate region.
Conclusion: Results showed an increasing trend in the incidence of breast cancer in Ilam city. Therefore, it is necessary to implement prevention and awareness programs focusing on risk factors in the female population, and also emphasize the importance of screening programs to address the danger.
