20.500.12556/DiRROS-18135 Breast cancer and breast health awareness as an evolving health promotion concept [Rak dojke in ozaveščenost o zdravju dojk kot razvijajoči načrt promocije zdravja] Background. Breast cancer is the most frequent malignant disease in the majority of developed countries. In the last few years the introduction of mammography screening programmes has resulted in an improved survival of breast cancer patients. However, the incidence of the disease in these countries is still on the increase. Present focus on secondary breast cancer prevention activities, consisting of early detection and treatment, cannot ensure a decrease of breast cancer incidence. Improved breast health awarenesscould therefore represent a part of specific health promotion activities aimed at decreasing the incidence of breast cancer. Conclusions. Indeveloped countries breast cancer is a significant health care issue. Secondary breast cancer prevention activities should therefore be complementedby specific health promotion activities in order to reduce its incidence in the future. Primary breast cancer prevention would include healthpromotion activities aimed at enhancement of the individual as well as collective breast health awareness. Properly enlightened members of the influential population groups could attain appropriate changes in the fields of legislation, taxation, customs and commercial regulations that would enablewomen to control their own breast health. true false true Association of Radiology and Oncology Ljubljana Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik by Authors Neznano 2024-02-07 14:34:27 2024-02-07 14:34:28 2024-02-10 03:41:38 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2004 0 0 str. 27-34 št. 1 Let. 38 2004 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2004-01-01 616-006 1318-2099 1963627 RAZ_Plesnicar_Andrej_2004.pdf RAZ_Plesnicar_Andrej_2004.pdf 1 EB2CA9CF6BBFD670E6564CDECD65FAAC 126477a0c260791fe5530a8c6f1b102d7cb630c9098388ee4c9fbeb8dc0f37c0 6a045cbb-c5b5-11ee-8001-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=24639 Onkološki inštitut Ljubljana 0 0 0
