VARGAS-MORANTH, Rusvelt; ESTRADA-LOPEZ, Haroldo; ZAKZUK-SIERRA, Josefina y ALVIS-GUZMAN, Nelson. Epistemology of breast cancer: understanding its origin to anticipate its outcome. rev.colomb.cancerol. [online]. 2021, vol.25, n.2, pp.65-78. Epub 29-Abr-2022. ISSN 0123-9015. https://doi.org/10.35509/01239015.129.
Breast cancer has one of the highest incidence and mortality rates worldwide. It is necessary to examine its natural history through an epistemological framework, by integrating clinical, philosophical, and mathematical models, in order to have an overview of it, as well as to understand how it has been interpreted throughout history, and the contribution of screening and clinical trials to treatments received by patients, based on scientific and historical evidence that can be used as a guide by clinicians, health professionals, and the general public.
