title: Prevention, early detection, and treatment of breast cancer: a collaborative approach.
abstract: Breast disorders are not only common and concerning, but in many cases, represent a real risk of death. Dealing knowledgeably with breast-related concerns is a priority for all HCPs and requires a thorough understanding of primary and secondary prevention strategies; first, to reduce the incidence of breast cancer, and second, to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. Coordinated and supportive care for women diagnosed with breast cancer is essential to promote optimal health and well-being. The knowledgeable primary HCP, working collaboratively with a breast specialist, can help women achieve these goals.
