Breast cancer is the most common cancer among Bahraini
women with a percentage of 37.4%. According to the latest
statistics the age group women are diagnosed at in Bahrain is
highest at the age of 45-50. The London breast cancer is the first
private medical centre specialized in diagnosis and treatment
of Breast cancer in Bahrain. We have therefore collected our
data of diagnosed breast care patients from the period of 2016
-2018.
This clinical audit will shed a light on the most common age
group of women diagnosed with breast cancer. The aim of this
study is to see whether the current breast screening protocol in
the kingdom of Bahrain is in line with the age group of affected
population.

A total of 1093 patients were screened at the London breast care
centre in Bahrain between 2016 -2018. 294 women with breast
cancer diagnosis was confirmed by triple assessment (Clinical

the younger than 40 , 40-50 and above 50 years of age. The
results were 29 patients were diagnosed at an age group
younger than 40 ( 8.5%). From 40-50 years there were 83
patients ( 24.4% ) Above 50 years of age 182 patients ( 53.5%).
Our study shows that most patients are diagnosed at an age
above 50. According to American college of surgeons guidelines
for breast screening, screening should start 10 years younger
than the commonest age at diagnoses , which is 40. Our results
in Bahrain are in keeping with the current guidelines for breast
