Objective: This critical review used a systematic approach to explore the prevalence of distress among locally advanced breast cancer (LABC) patients along their treatment journey. This review explored the domains of distress (psychosocial, physical and/or practical) that are significant to this patient population and determined indications for psychosocial support throughout the patients' treatment. Methods: Electronic databases including CINAHL, EmBase, Medline PsycInfo, and gray literature were searched from the year 2000 to 2016, to produce relevant literature. A critical review was conducted on 73 articles meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria. A narrative synopsis was used to summarize the findings under key themes.
