Living Conditions and Breast Cancer

The main objective of this study is to estimate of the link (odds ratio) between the precariousness defined by the score SPICE (2 groups: precarious and insecure) and stage at diagnosis (2 groups: CAS: stages 1 or 2 the "good prognosis "versus the witnesses: stage 3 or 4 bad prognosis).

About this study

Our secondary objectives include:

  • To study the link between cancer stage at diagnosis and diverse parameters describing living conditions
  • To construct a new score for social fragility based on new data collected in this study, and to compare this score with the EPICES score
  • To study patient quality of life at study baseline

(for cases):

  • Patient has been correctly informed about the study, and agrees to participate
  • The patient must be insured or beneficiary of a health insurance plan

Inclusion criteria

(for controls):

  • Patient has been correctly informed about the study, and agrees to participate
  • The patient must be insured or beneficiary of a health insurance plan
  • Incident breast cancer cases (diagnosis based on pathology) excluding sarcoma, classifiable as stage I-II, surgical cases

Exclusion criteria

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. The odds ratio for having a stage I-II diagnosis versus a stage III-IV diagnosis according to EPICE score category (social fragility versus no social fragility).

    Time frame: Baseline (Day 0; cross-sectional study)

    The main criterion is the estimation of the link (odds ratio) between the precariousness defined by the score SPICE (2 groups: precarious and insecure) and stage at diagnosis (2 groups: CAS: stages 1 or 2 the "good prognosis "versus the witnesses: stage 3 or 4 bad prognosis).
