Often tumors in the African setting are described aggressive with high grading status. There is no national cancer registry nor suitable data on breast cancer in DRC. Better knowledge of this entity can improve its management. To demonstrate the clinical and pathological profile of breast cancer in Kinshasa and Lubumbashi (DR Congo). Cross-sectional study of 86 patients were included for clinical and pathological in the Cities of Lubumbashi and Kinshasa from 2014-2016. All cases were women with histological invasive breast carcinoma. Parameters studied were: age of patients at diagnosis, morphological type [33], grade [23] of tumor, tumor necrosis and Nottingham score. Statistical analysis used SPSS program and Pearson Khi-square test. From January 2014 to September 2016, 86 cases were reviewed. The average age of patients at diagnosis was 47.8 ± 12.1 years. In 74% of cases, patients were presented at stage T3 or T4. The average size of tumors was 6.6 ± 2.7 cm. Invasive Ductular carcinoma was found in 97.2% of cases. Grade 3 tumors were found in 54.7% and grade 1 in 4.7%. Tumor necrosis was present in 30.2% of biopsies. The Nottingham score higher than 5.4 was found in 62.8%. All the patients were treated by supra-radical mastectomy. Lymph nodes were numbered in each case. Prognosis of breast cancers is poor in Lubumbashi and Kinshasa University Hospitals for tumors are diagnosed later. To improve breast cancer management, tumor must be diagnosed earlier. Perception of this pathology and its correct assessment are important for better taking care in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
