Ménétrier disease in Chinese children: a case report and systematic review.

Breast cancer remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among women worldwide and continues to pose a significant public health challenge in Jordan. According to the 2023 National Cancer Registry, it is the most common cancer among women in the country, accounting for 38.3% of all female cancer cases and 20.7% of total cancer cases across all genders (). Detecting breast cancer at earlier stages remains one of the most effective ways to improve survival and reduce the overall burden of disease. In Jordan, the Jordan Breast Cancer Program JBCP supported a range of national efforts to support early detection, including awareness campaigns, community outreach, provider training, and the expansion of screening services (). While progress has been made, a proportion of cases continue to be diagnosed at later stages. At the same time, emerging evidence suggests that breast cancer in Jordan is being identified at younger ages and at later stages compared with global trends, adding further complexity to both clinical management and public health planning (). Together, these patterns suggest that areas for further improvement may remain within early detection pathways, including coordination, access, and implementation processes. Within this context, healthcare providers HCPs play a central role. Through their daily interactions with patients, they influence how women understand breast cancer, perceive their own risk, and decide whether to seek screening (, ). They also guide patients through referral pathways and help translate national recommendations into practice. Their knowledge of screening guidelines, attitudes toward early detection, and routine clinical behaviors therefore have a direct impact on how effectively early detection strategies are implemented. As such, understanding HCPs' readiness to support early detection is critical for strengthening breast cancer control efforts.
