    Area of Science:

    • Oncology
    • Public Health
    • Medical Sociology

    Background:

    • Increased public awareness of breast cancer necessity for early diagnosis.
    • Media coverage intensified public focus on breast cancer.
    • High-profile cases involving public figures heightened awareness.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To subjectively quantitate the impact of media exposure on public behavior regarding breast cancer.
    • To compare the incidence of operative procedures before and after significant media events.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparative analysis of operative procedure incidence in Nashville.
    • Data collection from October-December 1973 (pre-event) and October-December 1974 (post-event).
    • Focus on patient numbers, biopsies performed, and cancers detected.
