Abstract

BORBON MENDOZA, Jesús E.  and  BEATO CANFUX, Abraham I.. Enfoque actual de la problemática salud-sociedad en pacientes con mastectomía. Rev Cub Med Mil [online]. 2002, vol.31, n.1, pp.47-53. ISSN 0138-6557.

A socioethic assessment on the psychological, family, economic and working problems the female patients with breast cancer have to face after mastectomy is presented. The study carried out allows to corroborate how the above mentioned problems influence significantly on the life of these patients. Great importance is given to the early diagnosis of the disease, to the comprehensive rehabilitation of them and to the predominant role played by the Cuban state and society in the search for a better quality of life of these ill women.

Keywords : BREAST NEOPLASMS [surgery]; MASTECTOMY [psychology]; MASTECTOMY [economics]; MASTECTOMY [rehabilitation]; QUALITY OF LIFE; BIOETHICS; SURGERY, PLASTIC.
