Background and objectives: Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women. The objective is to study

January 1, 2013 and December 31, 2020 in Ouagadougou. Survival was assessed by the Kaplan-

Cox model.
Results: We collected 550 cases. Overall survival at 5 years was 66.2%. Those under 30 years of age had a
low 5-year overall survival (53%). The 5-year overall survival was poor in rural patients (63.5%), triplenegative
