Breast
cancer is the leading cause of female cancer-related deaths in Mexico.
Residential exposure to industrial-derived hazards may increase cancer risk.
Hermosillo is one municipality with high breast cancer prevalence in Sonora,
Mexico. However, the relationship between breast cancer and hazards needs
further investigation. This retrospective observational study evaluated the
associations between breast cancer period prevalence (years 2013-2019) and
residential exposure to potentially hazardous sites (PHS) in Hermosillo.
Clinical data (n=912) of breast cancer cases were collected from 6-year-old
files. Cluster analysis identified regions of period prevalence. Proximity
analysis classified neighbourhoods by PHS-exposure, then calculated odds ratio
(OR) for breast cancer risk. Age distribution analysis evaluated the risk for
PHS-exposed vs non-PHS-exposed groups. Six neighbourhoods classified as
high-high breast cancer clusters. Highly industrialized neighbourhoods (≥ 7
industries vs ≤ 6 industries) presented higher risk (crude OR = 1.69), as well
as those in proximity to a gas power plant (≤ 4 km vs ≥ 4 km, crude OR = 1.55)
or to a residual water site (≤ 3 km vs ≥ 3 km, crude OR = 1.45) (all p-values
< 0.0001). Age distribution analysis showed an older population in the
PHS-exposed group. Larger cohorts will confirm our findings.
