Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the main public health problems worldwide, affecting millions of women each year. Primary care plays a crucial role in the prevention, early detection and management of this disease. The objective of this study is to analyze the role of primary care in preventing breast cancer, highlighting its strategies for health promotion, education, screening and early interventions. The aim is to identify the best practices and scientific evidence that support the actions of primary care in reducing the incidence and mortality from breast cancer. To achieve our objective, we carried out an integrative literature review. The integrative review is a method that allows the synthesis of research of different types, such as experimental, observational studies and systematic reviews, with the aim of obtaining a comprehensive view of the topic. Scientific databases were consulted, such as PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, using keywords related to primary care and breast cancer. Based on the integrative review carried out, we can conclude that primary care plays a fundamental role in preventing breast cancer. Strategies such as health education programs, breastfeeding promotion, regular screening and early interventions have proven effective in reducing the incidence and mortality from this disease.
