O aporte da bioética e do biodireito nos conflitos éticos e direitos das pacientes com câncer de mama.

Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the main oncological diseases affecting women worldwide, and is a major challenge for public health systems. In the Brazilian context, the high incidence and mortality rates associated with this neoplasia highlight the urgent need for concrete actions aimed at prevention, early detection, and the provision of efficient and accessible treatment. In this scenario, this study proposes a comprehensive analysis of the rights guaranteed to women diagnosed with breast cancer, based on specific legal standards and the fundamental principles established by the Federal Constitution, such as human dignity, the right to health, information, and equality. In addition, the study discusses the relevance of bioethics and biolaw in protecting the physical, emotional, and moral integrity of patients, especially in light of advances in biotechnology and the new ethical dilemmas that arise with these advances. The research also assesses the public policies implemented and the main obstacles faced in the realization of these rights, concluding that strengthening intersectoral actions and respect for constitutional precepts are essential to ensure quality of life, autonomy and respect for women undergoing cancer treatment.
