Description
Buzuneh Tasfa Marine and Dagne Tesfaye Mengistie analyzed survival among women treated for breast cancer in Ethiopia in a 2023 study. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Ethiopian women, yet local drivers of death were barely studied. The team reviewed records of 552 patients treated at Jimma University Medical Center from late 2018 through 2022.
They compared survival curves across patient groups, then fitted both standard and fully parametric survival models to weigh each factor. Age, city versus rural living, other existing illness, body weight, and lymph node spread all shaped survival in the models. Node-positive disease stood out as a strong risk marker. The authors argue the findings can guide follow-up care and screening priorities in a setting where late diagnosis is common.
