In limited-resource countries, cancer kills more people annually than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. Programs targeting early detection and treatment of cancer are virtually non-existent due to insufficient funding and attention given to this emerging health challenge. Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide and is also the leading cause of cancer-related death in females. In developing countries such as Uganda, breast cancer incidence is increasing and typically presents at an advanced stage of disease, for which treatment options are limited. Inadequate knowledge and understanding of the disease, social stigma, and barriers to care all contribute to a poorer prognosis. There are many challenges to reducing breast cancer incidence and mortality globally; however, there is evidence to suggest that advocacy and education, in particular through the efforts of breast cancer survivors and their partners, can play a critical role in improving overall outcomes in limited-resource countries.

在资源有限的国家,癌症每年造成的死亡人数超过艾滋病、结核病和疟疾的总和。针对癌症早期发现和治疗的计划几乎不存在,因为对这一新兴健康挑战的资金不足和关注不足。乳腺癌是全世界女性最常见的癌症,也是女性癌症相关死亡的主要原因。在乌干达等发展中国家,乳腺癌的发病率正在增加,通常出现在疾病的晚期,而治疗选择有限。对疾病的知识和理解不足,社会污名和护理障碍都导致预后较差。在全球范围内降低乳腺癌发病率和死亡率面临许多挑战; 然而,有证据表明,宣传和教育,特别是通过乳腺癌幸存者及其合作伙伴的努力,可以在改善资源有限的国家的总体成果方面发挥关键作用。
