Implication

Cross-sectional analysis examines delayed presentation and its factors in breast cancer among women at JPMC, suggesting cultural and healthcare barriers.

Key Points

Delayed presentation of breast cancer was found in 33.57% of patients, indicating significant barriers to early diagnosis.
Statistically significant associations were found between educational status, family history, menopausal status, and stage at diagnosis in patients with delays.
Observational cross-sectional analysis at JPMC assessed factors influencing delayed presentation using structured interviews.
Addressing cultural and healthcare barriers may significantly reduce breast cancer mortality in Pakistan's resource-limited settings.
