“…In a study of 68 women with breast cancer at a public hospital, delays were noted at various stages of the diagnosis and oncological treatment, especially in the interval between mammography and realization of the biopsy. 25 Furthermore, the delay in confirming the diagnosis of breast lesions in women attending a SUS reference center was observed in another study, and that was associated with the presence of symptoms, the long interval between the onset of symptoms and the first assessment, and between onset of symptoms and diagnostic confirmation. 26 In a study on trends in breast cancer mortality in Mexico between 1980 and 2009 regional disparities were observed.…”

“…Estos resultados coinciden con los reportados en el estudio multinacional de Jassem, et al, en el cual la demora en el diagnóstico y el tratamiento se atribuyó en mayor medida al sistema de salud, con un tiempo promedio de 78 días (8). En el contexto latinoamericano, en otros trabajos como el de Trufelli, et al, llevado a cabo en un hospital público brasilero, se encontró que la mediana del tiempo que trascurría entre la sospecha de tumor detectado por mamografía y la biopsia, era de 72 días (17), lo que se aproxima a lo hallado en cuanto al T 2 en este estudio. En lo concerniente a los factores que determinan estas demoras, en diversos estudios a nivel internacional se han detectado problemas sociales que pueden generar barreras de acceso y demoras en el proceso de atención (18,19).…”
