Making the case for integrated assessments of the biological, social, and system determinants of treatment for breast cancer to understand and improve outcomes in patients everywhere

摘要

Breast cancer treatment requires multidisciplinary action, which entails the collaboration of healthcare professionals with the goal of improving outcomes in a particular group of patients. Multidisciplinary actions target for example various components of the health care process, including medication regimens, lifestyle modifications, self-management, and patient education. Health care professionals need to understand and manage the cultural diversity of patients and avoid allowing unconscious biases and stereotypes to affect their interactions with patients.
