Breast cancer is the foremost cause for mortality among women. The non-communicable disease imposes significant economic expenses to communities. Its economic impact includes both direct and indirect healthcare costs. This scoping review will map key concepts underpinning the current direct and indirect expenses of breast cancer in India.
This scoping review will follow 'Arksey and O'Malley's' approach and updated methodological guidance from the Joanna Briggs Institute. The Cochrane library, Econ Papers, Embase, ProQuest central, PubMed and SCOPUS will be searched for peer-reviewed scientific journal publications from the year 2000 to 2021. Reference lists of included articles and preprint repositories will be searched for additional and unpublished literature. Independent screening (title, abstract and full text) and data extraction will be carried out against the defined inclusion criteria. The results will be narratively summarised and charted under the conceptual areas of this scoping review. The research gaps and scope for future research on the topic will be identified. Findings will be reported using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews extension for Scoping Reviews.
Ethics clearance will not be obligatory because this scoping review will only involve publicly available data. The review's findings will be disseminated through social media and a presentation in a national or international conference related to economics and healthcare. The findings will be published in a scientific journal that is peer-reviewed.
乳腺癌是女性死亡的首要原因。这种非传染性疾病给社区带来了巨大的经济负担。其经济影响包括直接和间接的医疗保健费用。本范围综述旨在绘制印度乳腺癌当前直接和间接费用的主要概念图。
本范围综述将遵循“Arksey 和 O'Malley”的方法，并采用 Joanna Briggs 研究所的最新方法学指南。将在 Cochrane 图书馆、EconPapers、Embase、ProQuest Central、PubMed 和 SCOPUS 中搜索 2000 年至 2021 年的同行评审科学期刊出版物。将搜索纳入文章的参考文献列表和预印本存储库，以获取其他未发表的文献。将根据定义的纳入标准独立筛选（标题、摘要和全文）和提取数据。结果将根据本范围综述的概念领域进行叙述性总结和图表绘制。将确定该主题未来研究的研究差距和范围。将使用系统评价扩展的首选报告项目报告研究结果。
由于本范围综述仅涉及公开可用的数据，因此不需要伦理审查。审查结果将通过社交媒体和在与经济学和医疗保健相关的国家或国际会议上的演示进行传播。研究结果将发表在经过同行评审的科学期刊上。
