This study describes uptake of these strategies related barriers among breast cancer–associated germline PV in Mexico. METHODS Carriers who were at least 6 months after disclosure genetic test results two GCRA referral centers invited answer a survey assessing sociodemographic...
Very limited data exist on assisted reproductive technology (ART) use in BRCA1/2 carriers conceiving after breast cancer.

Background: Identifying and addressing breast cancer (BC) patients' unmet needs (UN) are crucial due to their possible contribution higher levels of morbidity, particularly in vulnerable underserved populations, such as Latinas with BC.Objective: This study aimed (1) identify describe the most frequently reported items moderate-high UN among Mexican women BC covered by public healthcare insurance; (2) analyze differences domains according participants' sociodemographic clinical...
BackgroundIn resource-constrained settings, data regarding breast cancer patients' adherence to endocrine therapy (ET) and physicians’ prescribing practices is limited. This study aims decrease this knowledge gap in a real-world clinical practice.MethodsPremenopausal women with stage 0-III hormone-sensitive receiving adjuvant ET during the past 1–5 years were identified three Mexican referral centers. Participants' self-reported compliance, clinicopathologic characteristics, ET-related...
Background: Despite the risk of treatment-related infertility, implementation fertility-preservation (FP) strategies among young patients with breast cancer is often suboptimal in resource-constrained settings such as Mexico. The “Joven & Fuerte: Program for Young Women With Breast Cancer” strives to enhance patient access supportive care services, including FP measures through alliances assisted-reproduction units and procurement coverage some these strategies. This study describes from...
There is paucity of data regarding the knowledge and understanding patients with metastatic breast cancer (MBC) about their disease stage treatment goals. This study assessed these patients' awareness MBC incurability, topics reviewed oncologist, perceptions having enough to participate in decision-making, most helpful information source, satisfaction they received.
