Abstract | Introduction: Breast cancer constituted 13.6% of all reported new cancer in India, with a notable mortality rate due to late presentation. The current research aims to address the extent of delay in presentation to the hospital and the factors that contribute to delayed presentation among breast cancer patients. Methods: Comprehensive literature search was conducted through databases, including PubMed. Both quantitative and Qualitative studies were included. The database search yielded 17 articles and 4 articles were obtained through a manual search. The search was narrowed to article between 2014 to 2024 conducted in Asian countries. Results: A total of 21 studies were included. Among all the factors from patients and providers Knowledge and awareness about breast cancer is the major factor that contributed to delayed presentation to the hospital among breast cancer females as supported by qualitative studies. Across Asia, various other factors also contribute to delayed hospital presentation, including socioeconomic and demographic factors, cultural beliefs and stigma, healthcare system barriers, psychological and family support, use of alternative and complementary medicines, and physical and geographical barriers. Conclusion: Breast cancer is a prevalent cancer. The significant worry lies in delays in seeking medical attention and the tendency for individuals to present at advanced stages. |
