    Objective: To determine the risk factors for breast cancer in women attending the Gyneco-Oncology Department of María Auxiliadora Hospital in 2017. This was an observational, cross-sectional, comparative, retrospective study. The sample included 150 breast cancer cases and a control group of 150 individuals. Age was not identified as a risk factor for breast cancer. The mean age of women diagnosed with breast cancer was 42.5 years (SD = 6.8), while the mean age of the control group was 43.2 years (SD = 7.5). A history of breast cancer was observed in 43.3% (65) of the cases, compared to only 17.3% (26) in the control group, representing a 3.5-fold increased risk of developing breast cancer [OR = 3.5; CI 2.10 – 6.11]. Women who used contraceptives had a 1.76 times higher risk of developing breast cancer [OR = 1.76; 95% CI: 1.03 – 3.02]. Harmful habits were also identified as a risk factor for breast cancer in this study.
