Description
Magdalene Eno Effiong and nine co-authors mapped breast cancer by age in two thousand twenty-five among Nigerian women, using tissue records. Sub-Saharan women carry a high burden, but age-split data have been scarce. They reviewed more than three thousand breast tissue records filed over nine years, sorting lesions as benign or malignant across five age bands.
Young and middle-aged adults made up most cases. Benign lesions led overall, above all in young adults, where fibroadenoma was most common. Cancer share rose with age and peaked in middle age. Invasive ductal carcinoma was the top cancer type, with a sharp rise in the last study year. The data can guide targeted screening.
