Narrative literature review Title: Breast cancer and prevention: A narrative review of the literature
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Nursing and health Science - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Globally, cancer affecting the breast is the most occurring cancer among women. The impact of the disease is much greater because most women delay presentation and are diagnosed with advanced stage disease, which is known to be associated with poor quality of life, reduced chance of survival and poor prognostic outcomes. Breast cancer detection and prevention are significant issues in public health and clinical practice. To achieve early detection of the disease in resource-challenged settings, integration of prevention interventions in standard medical care across all levels of cancer prevention including palliative context is paramount. A narrative review on the background information on these subjects is provided to inform future research on the phenomenon. This review was conducted as part of a study seeking to integrate breast cancer prevention into cancer palliative care in a tertiary hospital in Ghana.
