Patients in low-and middle-income countries face structural barriers that are similar to those faced by deprived patients in developed countries [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] . *By inclusion criteria, no duplicate articles; **only systematic reviews; ***by criteria of interest, strategies to overcome barriers.…”

Este projeto de pesquisa teve como objetivo geral identificar estratégias de implementação das diretrizes para a detecção precoce do câncer de mama no Brasil. Em relação aos objetivos específicos, propôs-se a identificar, na literatura especializada, estudos sobre as dificuldades e as estratégias de implementação das diretrizes para a detecção precoce do câncer de mama nos sistemas de saúde de diferentes países; a avaliar a aplicabilidade dos resultados encontrados no contexto brasileiro; e a recomendar ações prioritárias conforme as estratégias de implementação das diretrizes às organizações responsáveis por esses processos no âmbito da saúde pública. Foi realizada uma revisão de revisões sistemáticas utilizando as ferramentas supporting policy relevant reviews and trial (SUPPORT), para auxiliar na estruturação das buscas e na análise de dados. As bases de dados utilizadas foram PubMed/MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS)/Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde (Lilacs) e Embase de 1º de janeiro de 2008 a 1º de maio de 2018. O estudo de nove revisões sistemáticas selecionadas identificou ações exitosas em países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento. As estratégias identificadas foram: fomento de lideranças comprometidas com a implementação das diretrizes, melhor governança dos serviços de saúde próximos ao público-alvo, campanha nacional de divulgação em massa e programa de navegação de pacientes.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: detecção precoce de câncer; neoplasias da mama; políticas públicas de saúde. RESUMO ABSTRACTThis research project aimed to identify strategies for implementing guidelines for early detection of breast cancer in Brazil. Regarding the specific objectives, it aimed to identify studies in the specialized literature on the difficulties and strategies for implementing the guidelines for early detection of breast cancer in the health systems of different countries; to evaluate the applicability of the results found in the Brazilian context; and to recommend priority actions in accordance with the implementation strategies of the guidelines to the organizations responsible for these processes in the public health context. A review of systematic reviews was carried out using the supporting policy relevant reviews and trial (SUPPORT) tools to assist in structuring searches and analyzing data. The databases used were .

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer in the world and also in Arab countries. Despite the fact that its incidence and mortality rates in the Arab world are on the rise, preventive care is not practiced by Arab women. Breast cancer screening is highly recommended to detect the disease early, promote health, and reduce mortality rates. Several barriers were found to influence views, beliefs, attitudes, and behaviors of Arab women toward breast cancer screening. Addressing barriers related to the Arab culture, religion, and spirituality, in addition to social and personal barriers, is a critical element that must be wellunderstood to reinforce the importance of breast cancer screening and improve related practices. This chapter discusses the incidence and current status of breast cancer screening in the Arab world. It also examines and analyzes sociocultural, religious, and spiritual barriers to breast cancer screening that must be integrated into
