ABSTRACT
Purpose: We aimed to assess the period of diagnosis and treatment for breast cancer and identify related factors.
Methods: A cross-sectional study of 108 women who were hospitalized as patients with breast cancer was carried out in a university hospital in the Republic of Korea. A self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection.
Results: The mean periods of diagnosis and treatment were 51.69±81.18 days (median: 17 days) and 44.83± 56.97 days (median: 30 days), respectively. In hierarchical regression, significant predictors of an increased period of diagnosis included detecting abnormal changes based on perceived symptoms, performing regular breast self-examinations, and not undergoing mammography regularly. Women with breast cancer require more time for diagnosis when it is dependent on their breast self-examination and perceived symptoms without regular mammography. A predictor of increased period of treatment was financial burden. Conclusion: Women need health-promoting education in terms of proper techniques and training for breast self-examinations and the importance of regular mammography. Moreover, we must develop healthcare service programs and financial support to fill the gap to achieve early diagnosis and treatment to improve outcomes and quality of life among patients with breast cancer.
