<strong>Abstract</strong> <strong>Introduction</strong>: Cancer has been increasing massively and gaining more concerns as a public health problem in both developed and developing countries. Breast cancer prevalence rates in women outweigh those of other cancers. Globally, 6,70,000 women died from breast cancer. In India 13.5% incidence is reported, ranking it second among cancers in Indian women. Early diagnosis of breast cancer affords a better chance of survival and a better prognosis. Breast self-examination (BSE) is a tool for early detection that involves physical and visual inspections

Abstract:
Breast self-examination (BSE) is done by feeling and looking at the breast itself to see the possibility of physical changes in the breast. This process is carried out so that all changes that lead to more serious conditions can be detected early. Breasts will generally feel different during menstruation. Before and during this period, most women feel that their breasts are getting tighter and denser. Therefore, women need to do a breast self-examination (BSE) every 1 month, to find out whether there is a change in the shape of the breast from time to time. This study aims to determine the lev

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the United States. Several factors have been identified that interfere with women's breast cancer screening practices, including lack of knowledge and confidence in the breast self-examination (BSE) technique, and lack of information provided by health care provider. One of the reasons nurses do not teach breast cancer detection could be the little emphasis given to breast cancer examination in nursing schools.

Thus, a mammography would be more likely to detect cancers with a low degree of biological characteristics such as “luminal A”.

Abstract:
Introduction: The diagnosis of breast cancer in pregnant and postpartum women presents challenges. The clinical management of the breasts during pregnancy and lactation requires knowledge of the physiological changes of the pregnant breast, as well as the correct identification and approach to possible changes. The reluctance of physicians and patients to perform radiographic tests and invasive procedures during this period should be discussed. Objective: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that all breast lesions found in these periods should be carefully evaluated, highlighting the impo

Abstract:
Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common neoplasm among women worldwide. The advent of genetic studies and DNA microarrays and their proteins had made it possible to correlate the patterns of gene expression of each type of cancer in different women, associate them with other prognostic factors, and verify the clinical evolution and therapeutic response. The immunohistochemistry (IHC) technique is based on the detection of protein cellular constituents — antigens — and based on the identification and classification of specific cells in the tissue sample. Immunohistochemical panels have b

Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the ancestry of breast cancer (BC) patients from different Brazilian geographical regions and to associate it with molecular subtype. Methods: Ethics approval 1136/2016. This was an observational, transversal, epidemiological study, evaluating patients with BC. Molecular characterization of BC was performed by immunohistochemistry. DNA was extracted to evaluate ancestry. For analysis of ancestry, the AIM-INDEL panel was used, with 46 primer pairs. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products were subjected to capillary electrophoresis, and the results were analyzed using
