Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Global Health
  • Surgical Sciences

Background:

  • Breast Surgery International (BSI) was established to advance breast surgery globally, with a focus on developing countries.
  • Locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) presents distinct challenges in resource-limited settings.
  • Disparities in diagnosis, management, and treatment exist due to socioeconomic and cultural barriers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize the current situation of locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) in two African countries and Malaysia.
  • To highlight the differences in LABC management compared to established international recommendations.
  • To emphasize the need for tailored strategies and international collaboration in managing LABC in developing regions.

Main Methods:

  • Edited summary of a symposium focused on LABC in developing countries.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of diagnostic, management, and treatment disparities.
  • Review of clinical characteristics, including younger age at onset and higher male incidence.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant resource limitations, lack of facility access, and socioeconomic barriers impact LABC care.
    • Clinical presentation often includes younger patients, a notable proportion of male cases, and predominantly locally advanced disease.
    • Standard treatment modalities (chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, hormonal therapy) require adaptation.

    Conclusions:

    • International collaboration through organizations like BSI is crucial for addressing LABC in developing countries.
    • Training opportunities and collaborative research are vital for improving outcomes for the world's most common female malignancy.
    • Tailored, rational treatment plans integrating chemotherapy, surgery, radiotherapy, and hormonal therapy are essential for LABC management.
