Abstract
This retrospective cohort study investigates the influence of Body Mass
Index (BMI), stage at diagnosis, and treatment modalities on survival rates
among female patients diagnosed with primary breast cancer. Data from 120
patients were analysed using SPSS, employing regression, ANOVA, and correlation
tests to explore relationships between BMI, stage at diagnosis, treatment
types, and survival outcomes. Findings reveal that BMI significantly impacts
survival rates (R =.983, p <.001), with higher BMI correlating with
increased survival. Similarly, advanced stage at diagnosis (R =.983, p <.001)
and specific treatment modalities (R =.830, p <.001) are strongly associated
with survival outcomes. Moreover, a strong positive correlation (r =.984, p
<.01) between BMI and later stage at diagnosis highlights the need for
targeted screening strategies. These results underscore the multifaceted
impacts of BMI, diagnosis timing, and treatment choices on breast cancer
prognosis, emphasizing personalized care approaches for improved patient
outcomes.
