Accessing breast cancer care in a protracted conflict: Qualitative exploration of the perspectives of women with breast cancer in northwest Syria
Though there have been improvements to breast cancer care in northwest Syria, stock-outs and the lack of availability of radiotherapy may still force women to travel to Turkey for further investigations or treatment. Our findings suggest increased support for women with breast cancer as well as their families is required. This work is a starting point for future research on this topic both in northwest Syria and other areas in Syria.
