Introduction: Breast cancer management is complex, requiring personalised care from multidisciplinary teams. Research shows that there is unwarranted clinical variation in mastectomy rates between rural and metropolitan patients; that is, variation in treatment which cannot be explained by disease progression or medical necessity. This study aims to determine the clinical and nonclinical factors contributing to any unwarranted variation in breast cancer management in rural patients and to evaluate how these factors and variations relate to patient outcomes.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer worldwide, with early detection and advanced treatments contributing to declining mortality rates. However, managing comorbid conditions, particularly mental illness, presents significant challenges for cancer treatment. This study systematically reviews and meta-analyses the impact of having a pre-existing mental illness on breast cancer treatment utilisation, focusing on specific treatments and comparing different mental illnesses.

Introduction: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive breast cancer (BC) subtype with higher incidence and mortality rates in non-Hispanic Black (NHB) women than non-Hispanic Whites. Studies assessing disparities between NHB and Hispanic women, the two largest US racial/ethnic minorities, are lacking. This study evaluates disparities in the treatment and outcomes between NHB and Hispanic women with non-metastatic TNBC.
