“…[31] The decline in mortality rates in most middle-and high-income countries is consistent with the widely held belief that economic development will promote advances in medical technology, enhance access to health services, and help prevent and treat diseases. [32,33] Notably, the incidence of FBC in women aged younger than 40 years was significantly higher in several developing countries in Asia, North America, and South America, which is consistent with the results of several previous studies. [34][35][36][37] This phenomenon may be the result of younger women being more susceptible to developmentrelated risk factors, such as delayed childbirth and reduced breastfeeding period.…”

“…In addition, developing countries are experiencing a switch in the disease spectrum and a rise in life expectancy; therefore, this may lead to increased exposure to breast cancer risk factors [31] . The decline in mortality rates in most middle- and high-income countries is consistent with the widely held belief that economic development will promote advances in medical technology, enhance access to health services, and help prevent and treat diseases [32,33] …”

“…The work of the self-employed people was associated with lower absenteeism after cancer and also with reduced protection compared to employees [37,40]. Greater difficulties were also identified in poorly educated women with low socio-economic status [21,41], who often access harsher physical jobs and have more unstable contracts [42] and less access to social rights and to information [43].…”

“…Although only three studies focused on females with breast cancer, they indicated that problems when going back to work after treatment were related to age, the location of the cancer, symptomatology, and the degree of support in the work setting [18][19][20]. A recent study concluded that around 40% of women diagnosed and treated for breast cancer reported loss in working capacity, and an important proportion of them attributed to the illness and its treatment that they had not returned to work, which is more associated to having a lower socioeconomic status [21].…”

The objective of this study was to analyze the experiences of returning to work of women who had overcome breast cancer, identifying its physical and psychological consequences, the process they underwent, their motivations, and difficulties. A total of 19 female breast cancer survivors, with an age range of 30 to 57 years, participated in two focus groups. A semi-structured script was prepared about their experiences of returning to work. The results indicated that survivors’ self-perception was weakened by the physical and psychological consequences of the treatment of the disease; economic difficulties were one of the main reasons for going back to work; lastly, returning to work was a difficult process, mainly because of their physical/psychological limitations, the scarcity of job adaptation measures, and the limited support of the various public administrations. In addition, most of the women had to cope with seeking a new job without any guidance or job training. Significant difficulties related to the maintenance and return to work of female breast cancer survivors have been revealed. Findings highlighted the need to provide more and better information and guidance to cancer patients concerning their return to work or the search for a new job.

“…Se realizó un muestreo intencional sobre la muestra de un estudio previo realizado en el mismo hospital (Estudio sobre el impacto socio-económico en mujeres diagnosticadas de cáncer de mama) (Masià et al, 2019).

El apoyo social percibido por la mujer tras el diagnóstico de cáncer de mama se relaciona con su calidad de vida y es predictor de la adaptación a la enfermedad. Objetivos: Comprender la evolución del apoyo social percibido por la mujer e identificar el apoyo social dos años después del diagnóstico de cáncer de mama. Métodos: Se diseñó un estudio cualitativo fenomenológico. La recogida de datos se realizó a través de entrevistas semi-estructuradas a 16 mujeres diagnosticadas de cáncer de mama en el 2016. Sobre las entrevistas se realizó un análisis de contenido temático entorno a las categorías principales del social (apoyo emocional, apoyo instrumental y apoyo informacional) asistido por el programa Nvivo v.12. Resultados: Del análisis de los datos emergieron 6 categorías temáticas: 1) Cuidadora y cuidada a lo largo del cáncer de mama, 2) Expectativas y satisfacción con el apoyo social recibido, 3) Necesidades y autocuidado durante el tratamiento, 4) Falta de apoyo instrumental: un problema estructural, 5) Información: problema o solución, 6) Falta de apoyo informacional como origen de problemas en el periodo de seguimiento. Conclusiones: El apoyo social recibido por la mujer con cáncer de mama disminuye con el tiempo y dos años después del diagnóstico se percibe una falta de apoyo sobre todo de tipo instrumental.
