“…A systematic review on breast cancer patients reports that in 21 out of 24 studies psychosocial factors were among the most popular attributions 49 . Studies conducted with, for example, cervical cancer 58 and lung cancer patients 59 also confirm this, but attributions may differ widely based on sociodemographic and clinical variables. Furthermore, beliefs regarding the meaning or causality of illness may change in an individual over time.…”

The use of Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM) is increasing and a considerable number of patients forgo biomedicine, employing these non-conventional modalities as an alternative to orthodox cancer treatment. CAM use and motivations vary according to how and to what ends it is being used. Values, such as a preference for “natural” cures and lay theories of illness causation play a pivotal role in choice of therapy. These, in turn, affect and are affected by the manner in which the patient encounters and interprets information. CAM use may signify a point of tension in the doctor-patient relationship, as both parties are frequently reluctant to discuss the issue, albeit non-conventional modalities may pose threats to patient safety and thus warrant open communication. Extensive research in this particular area of medical communication is scarce, even more so concerning patients who forgo biomedical treatment completely. The following contains practical recommendations for communicating with patients at risk of declining conventional cancer treatment.

“…The frequency and percentage of symptoms assigned to childhood cancer by survivors and mothers were also verified. To analyze the causes of the disease spontaneously reported by the participants, we used the categorization developed by Peuker et al (2016;; the frequencies and percentages for answers were also verified by group. Inferential statistics was checked using z scores to standardize the answers of the patients who completed the IPQ-R and IPQ-RH.…”

Causal attribution among women with breast cancer was studied. The study included 157 women outpatients with breast cancer. A form for sociodemographic and clinical data and the Revised Illness Perception Questionnaire (IPQ-R) were used. The results showed that women attributed breast cancer primarily to psychological causes, which does not correspond to known multifactorial causes validated by the scientific community. Providing high quality, patient-centered care requires sensitivity to breast cancer women's beliefs about the causes of their cancer and awareness of how it can influence patient's health behaviors after diagnosis. If women with breast cancer attribute the illness to modifiable factors then they can keep a healthy lifestyle, improving their recovery and decrease the probability of cancer recurrence after diagnosis.
