Abstract
(1) Background: Patient-centered care for individuals with breast cancer requires multidisciplinary cooperation to ensure the appropriate use of medication and prevent medication-related problems. Pharmaceutical care has been associated with improved adherence in breast cancer management, a factor linked to patient outcomes and mortality. This study aims to summarize and explore the provision and utilization of pharmaceutical services for breast cancer patients by pharmacists. (2) Methods: A scoping review was performed to assess the pharmacist's role in providing pharmaceutical services for patients with breast cancer. A comprehensive review of four databases (PubMed, Ovid Embase, Ovid International Pharmaceutical Abstracts, and Scopus) was completed between 1 January 2012 and 8 April 2025 according to PRISMA-ScR framework. (3) Results: A total of 46 articles met the inclusion criteria, which included RCTs, observatory studies, cohort studies, and reviews. Findings suggest that both clinical and community pharmacists play an important role in prevention, management, and education for breast cancer patients. (4) Conclusions: Pharmacists can improve health outcomes by providing pharmaceutical service in breast cancer care. Optimizing interventions, expanding services, and evaluating long-term cost-effectiveness is needed in the future.
(1)背景：以患者为中心的乳腺癌护理需要多学科合作，以确保药物的正确使用和预防药物相关问题。药物治疗与乳腺癌治疗依从性的提高有关，这是一个与患者预后和死亡率相关的因素。本研究旨在总结和探讨药师为乳腺癌患者提供和利用药学服务的情况。(2)方法：对药师在为乳腺癌患者提供药学服务中的作用进行范围综述。根据PRISMA-ScR框架，在2012年1月1日至2025年4月8日期间完成了对四个数据库（PubMed、Ovid Embase、Ovid International Pharmaceutical Abstracts和Scopus）的全面审查。(3)结果：共有46篇文章符合纳入标准，包括随机对照试验、观察研究、队列研究和综述。研究结果表明，临床和社区药师在乳腺癌患者的预防、管理和教育中发挥着重要作用。(4)结论：药师在乳腺癌护理中提供药学服务可提高患者的健康结局。未来需要优化干预措施、扩大服务和评估长期成本效益。
