“…As a consequence of this, innate social discrimination of the disease due to shared beliefs appears to have evolved. Such practice can permeate the subculture and have a profound effect on breast health behavior particularly BSE [19,26,28]. The exception to this was found in hospital employees who had access to literature on BSE and mammographic screening and were aware of frequency of screening [29].…”

“…It is recognized that members of subculture may hold shared expectations, values, goals, knowledge, and beliefs regarding breast cancer and BSE [26]. Within subcultures, community engagement can be detrimental to health behavior and mammographic screening due to poverty and deficient education [27,28]. Barriers to breast health practices and BSE include social discrimination and misconceptions about screening requirements, family history [27,29,30], or feelings of vulnerability [31].…”

Breast health awareness practices of Pakistani Muslim women in the UK and Pakistan is unknown. Focus group interviews were used to investigate the impact of culture and psychosocial issues on breast health awareness involving 44 women in Lahore and London. Women based in Lahore were more inquisitive about breast cancer and held more developed views compared with British Pakistani Muslim women. Women concurred that concise and relevant breast health education is needed irrespective of faith to improve cultural sensitivity and awareness in both Pakistani communities (both men and women).

“…Nearly one-third of US women newly diagnosed with breast cancer had late-stage (regional or distant) disease at the time of diagnosis [20]. The situation in Australia is notably better, with 86% of cases detected in 1995 being early-stage, and only 14% late-stage [3].…”

Contralateral prophylactic mastectomy (CPM) and bilateral prophylactic mastectomy (BPM) markedly decrease the possibility of new breast cancer (BC) ipsilateral to the prophylactic mastectomy (PM). Given its relative infrequency, little is known about the clinical characteristics, presentation, and management of BC after PM. Between 1960 and 1993, 1065 women underwent BPM and 1643 women with unilateral BC treated with therapeutic mastectomy underwent CPM at our institution. Medical records were reviewed, and study-specific questionnaires were sent to all women. BC after PM included locoregional invasive BC or ductal carcinoma in situ ipsilateral to the PM. BC developed ipsilateral to the PM in 25 patients (13 after BPM; 12 after therapeutic mastectomy and CPM). Median follow-up after PM was 22 years (range 3-34 years). Presentations included clinically isolated local disease in 17 patients (68%); disease limited to the axilla without evidence of local primary disease in 4 (16%); synchronous local and axillary disease in 1 (4%); and synchronous local disease and distant metastases in 3 (12%). The 17 patients presenting with isolated local disease were most commonly managed with completion or redo mastectomy (65%) or local excision (29 %), followed by consideration of adjuvant therapy. The 5-year disease-free survival estimate was 69% (95% CI 52-94%) for the 22 patients who had isolated locoregional BC after PM and were treated with curative intent. Although rare, BC after PM can occur. The most common presentation, disease localized to the mastectomy site, can be managed with resection and consideration of adjuvant therapy.
