Background & Objective: Breast cancer has the highest incidence of all cancers and the incidence of this disease is increasing rapidly in many countries around the world, including Iran. In this study, some epidemiological and pathological factors have been investigated in breast cancer patients.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study which contains 476 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of breast cancer, was conducted in Tehran, Dr. Moini Breast Clinic from 2019 to 2021. Results: The mean age of patients was 50.2±11.40 years, of which 80.9% patients over 40 years. Ductal carcinoma was the most common in terms of histology (81.7%) and most patients are in grade 2 (63.6%). According to hormonal receptors, 73.8% of women had estrogen receptor positive and 68.9% of women had progesterone receptor positive and 18.9% of patients were triple negative. There is a significant relationship between grade and lymph node involvement (P-value=0.00) and also a significant relationship between metastasis with grade (P-value = 0.00 (and metastasis with lymph node involvement (P-value = 0.00) was seen.Conclusion The results of this study show that breast cancer has a high prevalence in Iranian women in Tehran, mainly seen in the 4th and 5th decades of breast cancer. HER-2 (epidermal growth factor 2 receptor overexpression) and triple negatives were the least subgroups. Considering that diagnosis happens late and about 63.6% of patients are in grade 2, it is necessary to implement programs in the field of screening and prevention in the female population of this province.

Background & Objective: Cesarean hysterectomy is a major surgical risk happening in the setting of life threatening hemorrhagic events during or immediately after the cesarean section. In this study we assessed patients undergoing cesarean hysterectomy to determine their general and clinical characteristics.
Materials & Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 34 consecutive patients undergoing cesarean hysterectomy in training hospitals in Tehran, Iran, from 2016 to 2017 were enrolled. The age, BMI, gravid, parity, Apgar score, risk factors, chief complaints, drug history, and previous medical and surgical history were assessed and finally the preventability rate was determined.
Results: The chief complaint was vaginal leak (VL), abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), labor pain, and preeclampsia in 38.2%, 29.4%, 14.7%, and 2.9% of patients respectively, and the other patients had more than one complaint. Type of surgery was total, and supra-cervical in 58.8%, 41.2% of patients respectively. Bladder injury occurred in 41.2% of patients. Two cases were preventable, one was non-preventable, and all others were mixed.
Conclusion: It may be concluded that the general characteristics among our patients undergoing cesarean hysterectomy is similar to those reported by similar studies. However further studies with larger sample size and multi-center sampling among Iranian patients are needed to develop more definite results.
