“…In Nigeria, 75.6% of studied women had never performed a BSE, and only 58.2% had heard of BSEs 23. In Bangladesh, 41% of women did not know what breast cancer is, 71% did not know what screening is, and 96% did not know what a BSE is 36.…”

Developing countries have limited healthcare resources and use different strategies to diagnose breast cancer. Most of the population depends on the public healthcare system, which affects the diagnosis of the tumor. Thus, the indicators observed in developed countries cannot be directly compared with those observed in developing countries because the healthcare infrastructures in developing countries are deficient. The aim of this study was to evaluate breast cancer screening strategies and indicators in developing countries.A systematic review and the Population, Intervention, Comparison, Outcomes, Timing, and Setting methodology were performed to identify possible indicators of presentation at diagnosis and the methodologies used in developing countries. We searched PubMed for the terms “Breast Cancer” or “Breast Cancer Screening” and “Developing Country” or “Developing Countries”.In all, 1,149 articles were identified. Of these articles, 45 full articles were selected, which allowed us to identify indicators related to epidemiology, diagnostic intervention (diagnostic strategy, diagnostic infrastructure, percentage of women undergoing mammography), quality of intervention (presentation of symptoms at diagnosis, time to diagnosis, early stage disease), comparisons (trend curves, subpopulations at risk) and survival among different countries.The identification of these indicators will improve the reporting of methodologies used in developing countries and will allow us to evaluate improvements in public health related to breast cancer.

“…In the absence of screening strategies, clinical examination leads to diagnosis, and palpable tumors have been reported to represent 90 to 100% of all cases at diagnosis 33, 36, 44, 47. This proportion decreases to 26% after opportunistic mammographic screening 48.…”

“…Pemberdayaan masyarakat dan pelayanan kesehatan melalui kerjasama lintas pendidikan dan petugas kesehatan dapat dilakukan melakukan skrining kanker payudara (SADANIS) di mana pemeriksaan payudara dilakukan oleh petugas medis, dimana SADANIS lebih murah dan mudah bila dibandingkan dengan pemeriksaan Mammography (Elsaghir, 2011). Khusus di Indonesia belum adanya program skrining rutin dari pemerintah dikarenakan lemahnya tenaga kesehatan dan infrastruktur pelayanan kesehatan juga memicu tingginya tingkat kesakitan dan kematian kanker payudara, disamping kesadaran masyarakat mengenali tanda dan gejala awal kanker payudara masih rendah (Hossain, 2014) Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Immanual bekerjasama dengan Puskesmas Pakutandang Kecamatan Ciparay Kabupaten Bandung untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan kelompok PUS (pasangan usia subuh) dan WUS (wanita usia subut) dan mengetahui lebih dini tanda dan gejala dari kanker payudara serta menurunkan angka kejadian kanker payudara di tahun 2020.…”

Kanker payudara (KPD) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat di seluruh dunia, dikarenakan banyaknya kesakitan dan kematian akibat kanker. Di Indonesia di laporkan bahwa kanker payudara mayoritas ditemukan pada kelompok wanita, meskipun angka insidensi kanker payudara ini menduduki peringkat kedua di antara Negara asia Peningkatan angka kejadian kanker payudara terutama di Negara berkembang dikarenakan adanya perubahan gaya hidup diantaranya: rendahnya partisipasi masyarakat dalam olahraga, peningkatan jumlah orang yang mengalami obesitas, dan konsumsi alcohol. Beberapa program untuk mengurangi faktor risiko kanker payudara telah dilakukan diantaranya skrining kanker payudara (SADANIS) di mana pemeriksaan payudara dilakukan oleh petugas medis, dimana SADANIS lebih murah dan mudah bila dibandingkan dengan pemeriksaan Mammography. Tujuan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat yang dilakukan oleh Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Immanual bekerjasama dengan Puskesmas Pakutandang Kecamatan Ciparay Kabupaten Bandung untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan kelompok PUS (pasangan usia subuh) dan WUS (wanita usia subut) dan mengetahui lebih dini tanda dan gejala dari kanker payudara serta menurunkan angka kejadian kanker payudara di tahun 2020. Metode pelaksanaan kegiatan tersebut meliputi: Pendidikan kesehatan pada kelompok PUS, WUS, Lansia tentang kanker payudara. Pendidikan kesehatan dan pelatihan pada kelompok Kader tentang pemeriksaan kanker payudara. Pemeriksaan deteksi dini kanker payudara (SADANIS) Stikes Immanuel dan Tenaga Kesehatan Puskesmas Pakutandang (Dokter dan Bidan). Hasil dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini antara lain: meningkatnya pengetahuan pada kelompok PUS, WUS, Lansia tentang kanker payudara, meningkatnya pengetahuan pada kelompok Kader tentang pemeriksaan kanker payudara. Meningkatnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan pada kelompok kader melakukan pemeriksaan sadanis.

“…There are only 3 private hospitals/clinics in Bangladesh that offer this particular marker testing facility which however, becomes very expensive to afford for mass people of the country. 12 Our review has found two solid data on TNBC patients of Bangladesh. A cohort study involving 1042 cases of breast cancer in Bangladesh found 9% of the total cases to be triple negative after an immunohistochemical examination.…”

Breast cancer is the second most common type of cancer in Bangladesh. Although significant improvement has been made in breast cancer treatment and management, Triple Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) is still the least known breast cancer subtype in this country. TNBC is well known for its aggressive nature and limited therapeutic options when compared to other breast cancer subtypes. Several population-based studies indicated high prevalence of TNBC in African women in addition to few recent studies indicating a growing number of TNBC patients among Asian population. However, there is a lack of evidence on TNBC patients in Bangladesh due to limited knowledge and awareness. In this paper we review the epidemiology, general risk factors and clinical characteristics of TNBC to find out the correlation between TNBC and other conventional breast cancer subtypes in Bangladesh. Some diagnostic and therapeutic approaches as well as future novel solutions for TNBC are also discussed to understand the pathologic process and treatment strategies of TNBC. Literature review reveals that, there is a lack of TNBC studies in Bangladesh. Therefore, more investigations should be carried out to address the degree of vulnerability of TNBC in breast cancer patients of Bangladesh.
