Brief Summary   Incidence of breast cancer is rising in India. From long clinical experience, it appears that the ’so-called’risk factors of breast cancer e.g. Nulliparity, Early menarche,Late menopause, etc as reported in various studies conducted among among women of Western countries are not applicable to women of our country. Some other factors may prevail. Aim of this study is to find out the relevance of the reported risk factors and to identify any other risk factor, if present.From preliminary analysis it seems that classical risk factors for breast cancer as described in the western literature are not applicable in the Indian population of breast cancer patients.
