PALMERO PICAZO, Joaquín; LASSARD ROSENTHAL, Jareth; JUAREZ AGUILAR, Leslie Aylin e MEDINA NUNEZ, Carlos Alonso. Breast cancer: an overview. Acta méd. Grupo Ángeles [online]. 2021, vol.19, n.3, pp.354-360. Epub 04-Abr-2022. ISSN 1870-7203.
Breast cancer is the most prevalent neoplasm in the female population. In Mexico alone there is an annual incidence of 38.4 per 100,000 women, where the annual cost of each patient is $110,459.00 Mexican pesos, causing a great impact on the health system.
Objectives:
To describe the etiopathogeny, epidemiology, clinical picture, classification and updated screening of this pathology.
Material and methods:
A systematic search was carried out in the databases PubMed, Web of Science and EBSCO, using the search terms: breast cancer, pathology, therapy, prevention and control; with the Boolean operator “and”. Selecting the articles that had a relevant contribution to this work. We obtained 30 articles as a final sample.
Results:
The physiopathology involves pathways such as PI3K/AKT and RAS/MEK/ERK, and the presence of hormone receptors. Screening is carried out by clinical examination and mastography, while the definitive diagnosis is made by biopsy techniques. Finally, there are five treatment paths: surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and biological, each with its specific indications.
Conclusions:
It is vital the training of medical personnel on this pathology, as well as the development of an efficient strategic plan aimed at early detection.
