Objetivo: Mapear a produção científica global sobre representações sociais ou culturais e câncer de mama no campo da saúde coletiva e discutir como esse fenômeno se apresenta na literatura. Método: Foi realizada uma revisão de escopo, tendo como norte a seguinte pergunta: Como representações culturais ou sociais no contexto do câncer de mama são descritas na produção científica global no âmbito da saúde coletiva? As buscas foram realizadas em cinco fontes de literatura científica, sendo incluídos 45 estudos. O tratamento analítico seguiu a técnica de análise de conteúdo na modalidade temática. Resultados: O acervo analisado pode ser tematizado nas seguintes categorias: (1) Comprometimento na imagem corporal e nas interações; (2) Espiritualidade; (3) Perda do controle da vida; (4) Seguir com a vida e (5) Associação a questões étnico-raciais Conclusões: Apesar dos avanços da biomedicina, observa-se que nas representações do câncer de mama ainda permanecem metáforas associadas ao câncer no século passado. Conclui-se que, dentre outros aspectos, a atenção a mulheres com câncer de mama não pode ser pautada apenas pelas abordagens biomédica e epidemiológica, uma vez que essa doença é atravessada por saberes que competem com essas abordagens.

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.
