The problem of breast cancer diagnosis

Abstract

In the structure of cancer incidence among the female population, breast cancer (breast cancer) takes the first place. The incidence in our country is uneven. There has been a steady increase in the number of patients and an increase in mortality rates [3]. The Russian Federation has defined a strategy to combat this pathology, which is focused on reducing mortality, increasing the disease-free period and improving the quality of life of patients. However, even with an optimistic prognosis of the course of the disease, there is a number of problems associated with breast cancer. The major psychological and social stressors under these circumstances are related to the woman's understanding of her disease, its prognosis, the complexity of treatment.
