Abstract

Depression due to the effects of breast cancer treatment and the woman's body image: a systematic review. The present study evaluates the main reactions experienced by women after the diagnosis of breast cancer, as well as draws a profile and/or an analysis of the greatest observed impacts that may be associated with the onset of depression due to the disease and effects of its treatment on body image. The purpose of this study was to discuss how these women experience the diagnosis of breast cancer and how the effects of treatment may have consequences on their mental health. Variables such as the personality traits of the patient, the disease, the treatment variables, their interaction with the disease and environmental factors were analyzed and considered as possible factors that may interfere in the perspectives and reactions of each patient affected by the disease.
