Social Perceptions of Breast Cancer by Women Still Undergoing or Having Completed Therapy: a Qualitative Study.

Diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer is a crisis that affects women's physical, social and spiritual lives. Investigating the perception of women's illness is important for treatment decisions. Therefore, we identified social cognition and interpretation of women diagnosed with breast cancer during and after treatment.

In this study, a close interview with the focus group was given to women who had or had completed breast cancer treatment. The study included about 25 women. Content analysis is used to analyze qualitative data acquired after focus group and detailed interviews.

Some women show a positive attitude toward getting sick, others have rebellious and angry emotions. Loss of the breast is important for various interpretations

At the diagnosis / treatment stage, acceptance or rebellion of women's illness differs in social interpretation after treatment. All stages of breast cancer have the same negative effects as her body in the social life of the affected individual. Nurses play an important role in dealing with these adverse effects. It is therefore necessary to sociologically understand and explain what is said about the adverse effects of this disease and how to interpret those information.

According to a study of breast cancer, men are diagnosed with breast cancer, and women are diagnosed with breast cancer. What is male breast cancer? Breast cancer is a malignant tumor that begins with breast cells. Malignant tumor is a group of cancer cells that may grow (invade) into the surrounding tissue or spread to the body (Article 1). Female men are suffering from breast cancer, but men also develop breast cancer. Some people do not realize that men have breast tissue

Social recognition of breast cancer in women who are still receiving treatment or are completed: qualitative research

Primary breast cancer Women with BRCA-related breast cancer were assumed to have the same prognosis as women with sporadic breast cancer. The 10-year mortality rate was 22% and the mortality rate of lymph node-positive women was 47% 18. However, most of the included trials began in the 1970's and the survival rate by stage was in the past 20 years. We assume that breast cancer mortality is low to explain these temporal trends and expected prognosis of women's breast cancer being carefully monitored. Mortality observed in Oxford meta-analysis and the US monitoring and epidemiologic outcome (SEER) program

It is expected to benefit from cancer prevention strategies in women with breast cancer and BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations
