Abstract

Objective:

To characterize the oral health in breast cancer survivors treated in the Rehman Medical Institute, Peshawar.

Materials and Methods:

This was a cross-sectional study conducted at the Rehman Medical Institute Peshawar between Jan 2017 and June 2018 of women diagnosed with Breast Cancer who received care. Forty three patients were selected in both breast cancer groups as well as in control group. Initially diagnosed patients of breast cancer, followed by surgical therapy and additional radio and chemotherapy were included in this study. Whereas female patients who received (supplementary/solely) endocrine or immunological therapy were excluded from this study, similarly were the women with severe chronic diseases such as chronic heart disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other cancers. Statistical analysis analysis were performed with the SPSS , Version 22.0.

Results:

Unfavorable oral health status of women who received breast cancer treatment compared to the oral health status of the control group has been shown in this study.

Conclusion:

Results indicate a need for more education about the potential oral effects of breast cancer therapies and about providing the best possible care for patients undergoing breast cancer treatment.
