Les antecedents de cancer du sein dans la famille etaient retrouves chez 24 femmes (23 ,3%). La clinique ne revelait aucun signe de cancer ou de pathologie benigne; la mastodynie bilaterale etait le symptome retrouve dans 22 cas (21,4%), a chaque fois dans un contexte de syndrome pre-menstruel.

SUMMARY: Objective: To study the clinical and epidemiological profiles of breast disease in women consulting for breast cancer screening at the Douala General Hospital. Materials and methods : This was a transversal study from the 30 April 2007 till the 30 April 2010 at the Douala General Hospital. Women of at least 45 years old were recruited. The following data were analyzed: age, personal and family past histories, clinical and mammographic findings. Results: One hundred and three out of 153 women were recruited; ninety women (87.37%) were within 45 – 60 years old. Past histories of breast cancer in the family were found in 23.3% of cases (24 women). There were no suspicious clinical findings of breast cancer. Premenstrual breast pain was the main symptom in 22 cases ( 21.4%) Conclusion: Within the limit of this study, the potential risk of breast cancer is high. We therefore recommend regular clinical and radiological follow-up for patients presenting with high risk factors of breast cancer in our milieu
