Filipino American women experience breast cancer disparities including being diagnosed with breast cancer at a younger age and at a later stage. More Filipino women have breast cancer tumors that are ER-negative or overexpress Her2-neu. These disparities could be effectively minimized with screening mammograms. This study aims to determine factors that influence mammogram adherence in Filipino American women using Andersen's Behavioral Health Model of Services for Vulnerable Populations as the conceptual framework. Logistic regression models determined the influence of predisposing, enabling and need variables with mammogram adherence. Among all variables-breast cancer literacy, mammogram reminder, sociocultural deterrents, cultural beliefs, and years of residence in the United States-only a mammogram reminder from a healthcare provider was significantly associated with mammogram adherence. Convenience and snowballing sampling generated a group of women who were highly-educated Filipinas limiting the generalizability of the study's findings.

Background: Latinas suffer disproportionately from breast cancer, partially due to lower uptake of guideline-concordant breast cancer screening. We describe the design of a study to compare two approaches addressing this important public health problem.
Design/methods: We are conducting a 5-year randomized controlled trial.
Article Synopsis
- A 51-year-old woman with a painless left breast mass was diagnosed with a rare primary breast hydatid cyst after initial conservative treatment failed and surgery was required.* -
- Imaging showed the cyst as BI-RADS 3, and preoperative tests revealed eosinophilia, which helped in confirming the diagnosis post-surgery.* -
- This case emphasizes the need to consider parasitic infections in breast masses and the importance of a collaborative approach in treatment, especially in areas where such infections are more common.*

Background And Purpose: Adjuvant endocrine treatment (AET) is crucial in early oestrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer (BC), providing reduced recurrence rate and increased overall survival. The aim of this study was to estimate AET adherence rates by age at diagnosis and region in Sweden.
Patients And Methods: In total, 10,422 women diagnosed with ER-positive BC in 2008-2010 were identified in the Swedish National BC Registry.

This study is aimed at investigating the 10-year outcomes of intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT) in Mexican women with early breast cancer (EBC) treated at the Centro Medico ABC, Mexico City. A cohort study included women with early-stage invasive ductal carcinoma aged ≥ 45 years without prior oncologic treatment, tumor size ≤ 3.5 cm, cN0M0, positive hormone receptors, margins ≥ 2 mm, negative sentinel lymph nodes, and no extensive lymphovascular invasion.

Context: Breast and cervical cancer are among the most common types of cancer, with breast cancer being a leading cause of death in females. Participation in preventive cancer screening is thought to be lower for females with spinal cord injury (SCI) compared to the general population, which could lead to late diagnosis and increased mortality.
Objective: To summarize evidence on the prevalence of breast and cervical cancer, adherence to cancer screening recommendations, and factors influencing participation in preventive programs among females with SCI.
