Breast Cancer as a Social Problem
Modern society is engulfed in a wide range of social problems such as diseases,
corruption among others. In order to qualify as a social problem, the issue has to affect a
significant portion of the community. Typically, social problems tend to affect human beings and
could even cause them a lot of suffering. In the recent past, breast cancer has become a social
problem globally, revealing the highest prevalent ailment with highest demographic of people
suffering the sickness. Clearly, the affected person undergoes a lot of psychological torture in
regard with the stigma associated with the condition. Further, the physical pain associated with
various stages of cancer can lead to inability of an individual body functioning normally.
Consequently, the issue of breast cancer affects the patient as well as the people around them
causing them a lot of suffering at different levels, for instance, financially as well as emotionally.
Thus, Cancer is a socially problematic source of human suffering worth the attention as well as
the concern from relevant personnel and the public health.
The Background of Cancer
Notably, breast cancer issue has been existence for a long time; in fact different perceptions of
the cause have changed with time. Initially, a lot of people believed cancer was a taboo, which
resulted in the stigmatization of cancer patients. Inadvertently, a lot of stigma directed towards
patients made it harder for diagnosis of breast cancer. As a matter of fact, the stigmatization of
breast cancer patients contributed to lower number of diagnosed patients. For right around a

century, the Halsted radical mastectomy was the standard surgical treatment for breast disease.
Ladies getting this treatment endured unpleasant corrective distortion, with loss of arm capacity
through resection of the pectoral muscles, high hazard for lymph edema as the consequence of
broad auxiliary nodal dismemberment, and critical agony and snugness over the chest. Endeavors
to reestablish self-perception with outer prostheses were dynamically powerful, and
reconstructive surgery with inserts did not turn out to be broadly accessible until the most recent
years of the twentieth century. Remaking was regularly deferred for quite a long while after
beginning treatment, requiring a moment surgical methodology. Prompt reproduction and
autologous tissue folds, broadly utilized today, and did not wind up plainly across the board until
the turn of the 21st century. Couch, et al established that breast cancer susceptibility is higher in
persons with deleterious mutations in predisposition genes (2014). The implication being that a
person may suffer from this condition without a definite physical cause.
Noteworthy, breast cancer falls second to lung cancer in terms of the number of deaths
caused. Usually, the condition begins with the formation of a tumor as cells grow uncontrollably,
however, only malignant tumors can spread to other areas of the body. Incredibly, the earliest
mention of breast cancer was documented in Egypt in 1600 BC in The Edwin Smith Papyrus
found in 1860. Clearly, the issue of breast cancer can be traced to older civilizations, posing the
question as to what exactly causes the condition. Generally, scientists agree that there is a genetic
relation to higher risk for persons with a family history of cancer. Simultaneously, there is the
possibility of acquiring breast cancer from radiation exposure. Undeniably, the risk of having
breast cancer is higher in older age as well as being obese. That being said, cases of breast cancer
have increasingly been discovered across the world, however, due to efforts in creating
awareness and encouraging early screening, the number of survivors is higher than earlier years.
