Avances de la detección temprana del cáncer de mama

Abstract

Breast cancer is a condition with a high incidence nowadays; it is known as the leading cause of mortality in women; in Ecuador, 631 cases of mortality from this disease were diagnosed. Its etiology has not been fully clarified, but multiple risk factors promote its development, making it undetectable in its initial stages, so early screening is essential to obtain a better quality of life. This review aims to describe the advances in the early detection of breast cancer. A descriptive literature review methodology will be used. It will follow the PRISMA 2020 method guidelines based on the search for updated information from the last five years on existing advances in the early detection of breast cancer. This research will be based on accurate information obtained from academic search engines and Cochrane Library, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, UpToDate, Elsevier, Redalyc, and SciELO scientific databases, resulting in determining the updated advances for a correct diagnosis of breast cancer, proposing a strategy to reduce its mortality.
