Abstract

BACKGROUND/AIMS: This research aimed to examine the relationship of breast cancer (BC) with general female deaths related to the disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the research, data collected from the World Health Organization-International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), the World Bank, and the Turkish Ministry of Health were used for 1998-2017 period. BC diagnostic incidence, all female mortality, and disease female mortality parameters were used as research parameters with controlling variables such as number of physicians and private- government health expenditures. RESULTS: BC diagnosis incidence was negatively correlated with female mortality (r=-0.988; p<0.01), disease related female mortality (r=- 0.990; p<0.01) and private health expenditure (r=-0.815; p<0.01). BC diagnosis incidence was positively correlated with physicians (r=0.992; p<0.01) and government health expenditure (r=0.815; p<0.01). Year-controlled partial correlation analysis results showed that BC diagnosis incidence was positively correlated with disease female mortality (r=0.473; p<0.05) and private health expenditure (r=0.551; p<0.05) whereas BC diagnosis incidence was negatively correlated with physicians (r=-0.681; p<0.05) and government health expenditure (r=-0.551; p<0.05). The effects of all female mortality (B=-243.37; p<0.05), disease female mortality (B=3160.37; p<0.01), and number of physicians (B=-59611.22; p<0.01) were significant at the multivariate level. CONCLUSION: With the increase in the diagnosis of BC, there is a decrease in female deaths in the society, while helping to decrease female deaths due to other diseases. In addition to the diagnosis of BC, it is possible to follow-up for other conditions with a high mortality level.
