Navigating complex choices through legitimation
For unaffected women at high risk for developing breast cancer due to pathogenic variants in BRCA1 or BRCA2 (BRCA) genes, bilateral risk-reducing mastectomy (RRM) is an alternative to intensive surveillance. RRM reduces breast cancer risk but may generate additional health and psychosocial issues, making the choice between surveillance and RRM complex and personal. This grounded theory study explores how unaffected women carrying BRCA pathogenic …
Improving palliative care outcomes in remote and rural areas of LMICs through family caregivers
Approximately 60 million people require palliative care worldwide, and nearly 80% of them live in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Providing palliative care in remote and rural areas of LMICs requires special consideration to ensure equitable access to healthcare. This perspective aims to deliver pragmatic, context-oriented policy recommendations designed to improve palliative care outcomes in Kazakhstan by capitalizing on existing resou…
Accuracy of Perceived Breast Cancer Risk in Black and White Women with an Elevated Risk
Most women with a family history of early-onset breast cancer inaccurately perceived their risk for developing the disease. Younger women were more likely to overestimate their risk. Findings can guide the development of tailored interventions to improve adherence to breast cancer surveillance recommendations
