BACKGROUND: Social determinants have an important role in the survival of breast cancer patients.
AIM: This article aims to reviews the social determinants that affect the survival of breast cancer patient.
METHODS: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for identifying studies related to this review using free-text terms and Medical Subject Headings terms. Both experimental and observational studies on social determinants of breast cancer patient survival which were published in the English language have been included in this review except expert opinions, commentaries, editorials, and review articles. Ten studies were eligible to be included in review.
RESULTS: Social health determinants that play a role in the survival of breast cancer patients are education level, place of residence, socioeconomic status, social environment, racial discrimination, and access to health services.
CONCLUSION: Social determinants have an influence on the survival of breast cancer patients, so it is important to pay attention to these factors.Downloads
