ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Breast cancer, in particular, is a significant concern in public health due to its high mortality rate. This research focuses on understanding the factors related to the 3-year survival of women with breast cancer in Cali, contributing to addressing this health challenge.OBJECTIVE:
To determine the socio-demographic, clinical, and healthcare-related factors associated with the 3-year survival of women with breast cancer affiliated with an insurance provider in Cali from 2017 to 2020. This study aims to generate scientific evidence for decision-making within the insurance provider and the region.METHODOLOGY:
A study was conducted in women with breast cancer in Cali to identify factors linked to 3-year survival. Data from a cohort of women with breast cancer affiliated with an insurance provider were analyzed, applying inclusion and exclusion criteria. Socio-demographic, clinical, and healthcare-related factors were assessed. Data were collected from secondary sources and analyzed to determine variables associated with survival. Ethical and confidentiality considerations were adhered to throughout the process.RESULTS:
The most significant finding of our study, based on a three-year follow-up of 140 women with breast cancer, is the alarming mortality rate of 21.4%. We emphasize the importance of diagnosing the disease at its early stages, which can make a difference in the survival and prognosis of patients.CONCLUSION:
The study highlights the high vulnerability of the cohort of women with breast cancer affiliated with the insurance provider. Although a longer survival time was observed in certain groups, the mortality rate remains significant.RESUMEN
INTRODUCCIÓN:
El cáncer de mama, en particular, es una preocupación significativa en la salud pública debido a su alta mortalidad. Esta investigación se centra en comprender los factores relacionados con la supervivencia a 3 años de mujeres con cáncer de mama en Cali, contribuyendo a abordar este desafío de salud.OBJETIVO:
