habit and to estimate the pattern of BC risk factors including family history, histological type, grading, and
staging. The retrospective cross-sectional descriptive design was utilized. A total of 282 confirmed breast
cancer female patients for the years 2016 to 2018 were included. Overall result showed that the age of
