Abstract
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers and is one of the biggest health threats in women around the world. Since the systematic review study in Iran has not been conducted so far, this study was designed to determine the role of family physicians or first-level care physicians in preventing breast cancer at various levels. In this systematic review, we found family physicians could play a significant role in all levels of breast cancer prevention, including roles in education, risk assessment and early detection of cancer, treatment and follow-up of patients with breast cancer and rehabilitation, and help improve quality of life. Survivors and those treated for breast cancer.
