Impacto do autoexame das mamas no diagnóstico de câncer de mama em países de média e baixa renda: uma revisão de literatura/ Impact of breast self-examination on breast cancer diagnosis in medium and low income countries: a literature review

Abstract Background In low-income countries breast cancer awareness (BCA) is essential to reduce the proportion of advanced stage presentations of breast cancer. There is a lack of studies using multivariable techniques to explore factors related to BCA in low-income countries. The objective of this study was to identify to what extent women in Fiji and Kashmir, India have BCA and practice breast self-examination (BSE) as well as factors associated with BCA and BSE. Methods A survey of women aged ≥18 years was conducted in Fiji and Kashmir, India to assess BCA and rates of BSE. Comparison between Fiji and Kashmir was done using student’s t-test for continuous data and chi-square for binary data. Factors associated with BCA and BSE were analysed using a multivariable logistic regression for Fiji and Kashmir separately. Results Data were collected from 399 and 1982 women in Kashmir and Fiji, respectively. Of 1968 women in Fiji 57% were deemed to have an acceptable BCA compared to only 7.3% of 395 women in Kashmir. Having some education was associated with having BCA with an odds ratio of 4.7 (1.7–13) in Fiji and 10 (1.7–59) in Kashmir. Of 1976 women in Fiji 40% had tertiary education while 40% of 392 women in Kashmir had no education at all. The marital status was similar in both samples (n = 1973 and 395) with 68–69% being married and 21–26% being single. The lack of female doctors or nurses with whom to discuss issues, was perceived as a problem in both countries. Conclusions The key finding is an association between having any level of education and BCA. This correlation was much stronger than for a family history of breast cancer and BCA. Hence, general education to illiterate women may reduce the proportion of women in low-income countries presenting with advanced-stage breast cancer.

Abstract This paper presents a Microwave Imaging apparatus for breast cancer detection, aiming at early diagnosis, an effective way of reducing mortality rates. In 2020, breast cancer has surpassed lung cancer cases worldwide, with more impact in low-income countries, which motivates seeking a non-invasive and affordable screening equipment. Focusing on low-cost and portability, a US$150.00 embedded hardware transceiver plus antennas platform has been picked out, together with the development of a dry-coupling silicone rubber bra hold by a handheld device. Initially, a losses study to analyze the hardware ability to detect malignant tumors depth in the breast was conducted. Next, simulations and tests employing the platform along with a breast phantom were carried out. This phantom mimics the dielectric breast tissue properties while a confocal algorithm was applied to backscattered signals to generate reconstructed images. Results established a correspondence between simulated and experimental data, SCR and SMR above 7.0 dB and 23.0 dB, respectively, in the resulting images and tumor location precision below 0.3 cm. Based on that, the low-cost portable proposed system results showed its ability as an adjunct early breast cancer diagnosis tool.

Purpose The increasing incidence of breast cancer during pregnancy and postpartum in Nigeria remains a source of concern and management dilemma. Integrating a screening program into existing antenatal and postnatal services might provide a real opportunity to promptly detect and plan treatment in low-income countries. The objective of this work was to describe the profile of women referred for additional investigation after clinical breast examination (CBE) in pregnancy and during lactation and to identify factors that might influence uptake. Methods We used an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach. A cross-sectional survey described 206 women who were referred for free breast ultrasound scan (BUS) after CBE at recruitment, in the third trimester, and at 6 weeks and 6 months postpartum in three different public health centers in Ibadan, Nigeria. We conducted 16 in-depth interviews (IDIs) to explore reasons for their decisions on BUS. Quantitative data were summarized and multiple logistic regression was performed to determine the association between explanatory variables and BUS uptake at P < .05. IDIs were transcribed and analyzed using a thematic approach. Results Mean age of participants was 28.5 ± 5.14 years. The majority of participants (61.7%) presented for BUS. Study participants were mostly recruited from secondary health facilities (71.8%), had less than a higher national diploma education (76.7%), and were of the Yoruba ethnic group (94.7%). History of breast self-examination practice was reported by 52 participants (25.24%) and 20 (9.71%) had ever performed CBE. Women with a higher national diploma level of education or greater were more likely to have undergone BUS (adjusted odds ratio, 4.41; 95% CI, 1.13 to 17.31). Reasons mentioned during IDI for avoiding BUS were financial constraint for breast cancer treatment and management after diagnosis, fear of an unfavorable BUS report, psychological wellbeing after breast cancer diagnosis, lack of trust in the health system, lack of information on BUS, and an assumption of none or less aggressive symptoms. Most of the women interviewed (93.8%) informed their husbands about the BUS referrals and they all received support. Conclusion The majority of participants who were educated presented for BUS. Some women declined additional evaluation of their breasts for fear of financial constraints, breast cancer diagnosis, and unknown fear of psychological implications.

AbstractThe death rate caused by cancer has increased very rapidly. Breast cancer is caused by the growth of abnormal tissue. It comes from abnormal changes in genes that regulate cell growth so that cells lose their control. Breast cancer can be found early by doing BSE, as well as by doing a clinical examination. However, community behavior in doing the early detection of breast cancer is still low due to a lack of knowledge in doing BSE. Therefore, it needs to increase awareness of the health importance to improve a better quality of life. To determine BSE knowledge and breast self-examination behavior in adolescents through a literature review. The data collection technique used a literature review method of 5 articles. The articles were from Google Scholar and PubMed. They were published in 2011-2021. The critical assessment instrument used was strobe. The results of a literature review of 5 articles showed that from 704 respondents, most of the respondents who had good knowledge were 280 respondents (40%). Those who had never done BSE were 421 respondents (60%). In this literature review, the result showed that the respondents' knowledge of breast self-examination was good. The respondents also had not done any breast self-examination.Keywords: Breasl self-examination, knowledge, behavior AbstrakAngka kematian yang disebabkan oleh kanker mengalami peningkatan yang sangat pesat. Kanker payudara adalah pertumbuhan jaringan abnormal yang disebabkan perubahan yang tidak normal pada gen yang mengatur pertumbuhan sel, sehinggal sel kehilangan pengendalian. Kanker payudara dapat ditemukan secara dini dengan melakukan SADARI, serta dengan dilakukannya pemeriksaan klinik. Akan tetapi perilaku masyarakat dalam deteksi dini kanker payudara masih rendah yang disebabkan karena kurangnya pengetahuan dalam melakukan SADARI serta diperlukan adanya minat dan peningkatan kesadaran akan pentingnya kesehatan guna meningkatkan kualitas hidup yang lebih baik. Untuk mengetahui pengetahuan SADARI dan perilaku pemeriksaan payudara sendiri pada remaja melalui literature review. Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan metode literature review 5 artikel yang bersumber database online dengan penelusuran elektronik pada Google Scholar dan PupMed yang dipublish pada tahun 2011-2021. Instrumen telaah kritis yang digunakan yaitu dengan menggunakan Strobe.

Introduction: Breast cancer is a malignant disease in women where the mortality rate of sufferers increases every year. The importance of early detection steps to help women overcome these problems, one of them by doing breast self-examination (Breast Self-Examination) Behavior of a person to do breast self-examination is basically different, this is influenced by several factors, one of which is knowledge. Objective: This literature review aims to determine the effect of health education on the behavior of women of childbearing age in conducting BSE actions. Methods: Search for articles using an electronic database that is google schoolar, Science Direct, and Pubmed. Keywords used in Indonesian and English are "women", "BSE health education", "Women", and "Health Promotion Breast Self-Examination". The article search results were found on the Google Scholar website of 3,090, Science Direct 4,875 results, and PubMed 224 results. The articles were then sorted according to topic so that 8 research articles were collected which were considered to be representative of all research articles on women and BSE health education. Results: It was found that BSE health education can reduce the risk of breast cancer and improve the quality of health promotion in women. Conclusions and Recommendations: this study provides valid evidence that health education influences the behavior of women to make breast self-examination. Further studies related to health education can be done in more depth about which actions are most effective in increasing behavior in doing breast self-examination.
