OBJECTIVE:Our aim is to compare mammographic, demographic and clinicopathological characteristics of patients whose mammographies were classified as subgroups of BI-RADS 4 category (Breast Imaging – Reporting and Data System).METHODS:In total, 103 patients with mammography (Senographe 600t Senix HF; General Electric, Moulineaux, France) results classified as BI-RADS 4 were included in the study. Demographic data (age, menopause, and family history) were recorded. All data were compared among BI-RADS 4 subgroups.RESULTS:In all, 68.9% (71/103), 7.8% (8/103) and 23.3% (24/103) the patients were in groups BI-RADS 4A, 4B and 4C, respectively. The incidence of malignancy was higher in Groups 4B and 4C than in Group 4A (p<0.05), but similar in Groups 4B and 4C (p>0.05). Mean age was lower in Group 4B than in Groups 4A and 4C (p<0.05). A positive family history was more common in Group 4A than in Group 4B (p=0.025). The frequency of menopausal patients was greater in Groups 4A and 4C than in Group 4B (p=0.021, and 0.003, respectively).METHODS:The rate of malignancy was higher in Groups 4B, and 4C than in Group 4A. A positive family history was more common in Group 4A than in Group 4C. Groups 4A, and 4C patients tended to be older and were more likely to be menopausal than Group 4B patients.

“…In this study, the daughters not only expected information about breast cancer and its treatments but also wanted to understand ways to decrease the possibility of cancer recurrence for their mothers, such as diet, nutrition, or physical activity. These ndings were documented in previous studies [21,22]. Furthermore, the daughters desired to know how to encourage their mothers and provide psychosocial support beyond physical care, which highlights the necessity to improve communication between mothers and daughters in Taiwan.…”

Purpose: Women whose mothers have been diagnosed with breast cancer are concerned about their mothers’ illness and fear developing cancer themselves. This study aims to understand daughters’ lived experiences after their mothers have been diagnosed with breast cancer in Taiwan. Method: In-depth interviews were conducted to understand the daughters’ emotional reactions to their mothers’ diagnoses, their challenges with taking care of their mothers, and their concerns or perceptions regarding their own risks of developing breast cancer. Themes were identified through a content analysis. Results: An analysis of 18 transcripts revealed six themes: “taking care of my mother is my responsibility”, “desiring sufficient information/support”, “feeling helplessness in providing care”, “expecting a cancer diagnosis in fear”, “anticipating a resolution other than surveillance”, and “worrying about myself is not a priority”. Conclusion: The daughters prioritized the responsibility of caring for their mothers physically and psychologically rather than managing their own cancer concerns. Health care professionals should be aware of these priorities to provide education regarding the care of high-risk populations and psychological support to the adult daughters.

“…Among our study sample, the social relationships dimensions are similar to those reported in previous research, which suggests that informational needs are not routinely met among patients with breast cancer. 21 22 Of further note, the top unmet need for these patients is support from peers and health professionals, 21 specifically including peer support, mammography reminders and professional breast self-examination knowledge, which can be classified as emotional support, instrumental support and informational support, respectively. These results are not contrary to our findings, as our participants reported insufficient levels of emotional, instrumental and informational support.…”

ObjectivesThis study evaluated emotional, informational and instrumental support needs in patients with breast cancer who had undergone surgery, then identified the variables associated with those needs.DesignThis was a cross-sectional survey study.SettingQuestionnaires were distributed in tertiary hospitals in China between January 2018 and July 2020.ParticipantsWe recruited 477 eligible patients with breast cancer via convenience sampling. Due to exclusions for response errors, the final analysed sample included 461 participants (mean age of 50.9 years). Each completed a questionnaire consisting of a sociodemographic information component and three short forms from the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (social relationships short forms, anxiety short form and depression short form). Subsequent analyses included the χ2 test, Pearson correlation and multivariate regression.ResultsThe T scores for informational support were lower than those for the reference group (general population), while those for emotional and informational support were average. Marital status, childbearing history, lifestyle, employment status, anxiety and depression levels were related to the scores for emotional, informational and instrumental support in this population. The regression analysis revealed that emotional support levels, instrumental support levels, marital status, employment status, anxiety and depression outcomes were predictors for informational support levels.ConclusionsInformational support should be specifically assessed and promoted among patients with breast cancer in general, while marital status, childbearing history, lifestyle, employment status, anxiety and depression levels should be evaluated when conducting interventions to promote emotional, informational and instrumental support for those who have undergone surgery. Early and regular screenings for high-risk patients will help nurses identify those who are likely to benefit from targeted preventive interventions aimed at emotional, informational and instrumental support issues.Trial registration numberChiCTR2000035439; ClinicalTrials.gov registry.
