STUDY ON THE STATUS OF BREAST AND PROSTATE CANCERS IN GAZIRA STATE USING (CA-15-3&PSA) TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

This study was conducted in AlGezira State in two environmentally and economically different areas. The people in these areas were divided into two groups in the study: Group (A) people who live alongside the Blue Nile bank Group people who live away how the Blue Nile, 1 e in midland between the Blue Nile and White Nile which is called (Al- Bajour). The aim of the study was to recognize the normal rate of breast cancer markers ( Carbohydrate Antigen 15-3), which is one of the most common cancers, and the prostate cancer ( Prostate Cancer Makers), as compared with the global normal rate, in order to early detect and treat these types of cancers.

The study was conducted on 336 men and 304 women, who are different in ages, work and social status. The researcher used an experimental, descriptive and analytical method, and the SPSS program for analysis.

The study showed that the results of normal rate- as compared with previous studies- are typical to the breast cancer markers ( carbohydrate antigen 15-3, ranging between (0-40) ngm/ml, where as the normal rate of the prostate cancer makers ( PSA) ranges between (0-4) ngm/ml, and according to the previous African and American studies.

The studies also showed that the results are different according to the group are different according to the group involved. There is an increase in normal rates of group (A) in the PSA markers.

From 177 men, 49 had rated of (4-10) ng/ml, 6 had very high rates (10-20)ng/ ml and an extremely high rates of 2 samples (>20)ng/ml. It was noticed that the abnormal increase rate is directly proportional to the age development. The study showed high results of breast cancer markers (Carbohydrate Antigen 15-3), as compared with the global normal rate (0-40)ng/ml, 6 had very high rates (60-100)ng/ml and extremely high rates (>100)ng/ml.

Two women of uterus cancer died. Again the abnormal increase in the rates is directly proportional to age development. The study showed that the results of group (B) is completely typical to the global normal rate of the breast and prostate cancers markers of 175 men and 148 women, in which the rate ranges between (0.1- 1.1) ng/ml for the PSA markers, and( 0-39.2) ng/ml for the breast cancer markers ( Carbohydrate Antigen 15-3).
