Abstract:

Objective: To map the global scientific production on social or cultural representations and breast cancer in the field of public health and discuss how this phenomenon is presented in the literature. Method: A scope review was carried out, guided by the following question: How are cultural or social representations in the context of breast cancer described in the global scientific production in the field of public health? Searches were carried out in five sources of scientific literature, including 45 studies. The analytical treatment followed the content analysis technique in the thematic modality. Results: The analyzed collection can be thematized in the following categories: (1) Compromise in body image and interactions; (2) Spirituality; (3) Loss of control of life; (4) Going on with life and (5) Association with ethnic-racial issues Conclusions: Despite advances in biomedicine, it is observed that representations of breast cancer still have metaphors associated with cancer in the last century. It is concluded that, among other aspects, care for women with breast cancer cannot be guided only by biomedical and epidemiological approaches, since this disease is crossed by knowledge that competes with these approaches.
