Breast cancer is the most common cancer and the first cause of cancer-related deaths among women in Cameroon. The aim of the study was to investigate its risk factors for breast cancer at two University Teaching Hospitals in Yaounde. Methodology: A case-control study was conducted for 5 months, from February 25th to July 25th 2015, at the Gynecology unit of the Yaounde Gyneco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital (YGOPH) and the Medical Oncology unit of the Yaounde General Hospital (YGH). One hundred and five patients with breast cancer (cases) were compared to 210 women who did not have breast cancer (controls). SPSS Version 18.0.0 software was used to analyze the data with a statistical significance considered at P-value 50 years (P three times per week (P = 0.002; OR = 2.14; CI = [1.33 - 3.45]), palm oil consumption > two times per week (P = 0.001; OR = 2.38; CI = [1.4 - 4.1]). After multivariate analysis, age > 50 years (aOR = 41.48; CI = [2.46 - 69.9]) and consumption of red meat > three times per week [aOR = 7.33; (1.49 - 36)] were the risk factors considered significant for breast cancer. Conclusion: Age > 50 years and red meat consumption are independent risk factors for breast cancer at the Yaounde General Hospital and at the Yaounde Gyneco-Obstetric and Pediatric Hospital.
