Abstract: Breast cancer is the leading cause of cancer death in women in many countries, and its incidence is still rising. Many studies have shown that early diagnosis and treatment lead to better outcomes and higher survival rates for breast cancer patients. However, many patients do not seek help after noticing breast symptoms, resulting in delays in diagnosis and treatment. This would not only have a bad effect on the treatment but also increase the medical cost. Popularizing the concept of breast cancer hell-seeking behavior, combined with the theory of planned behavior to further analyze it, to achieve a positive influence on this kind of patient. After finding corresponding symptoms, breast cancer patients experienced their reactions, assessed their symptoms, explained their symptoms, and finally found medical workers for consultation, and completed the behavior of asking for help. Based on the conceptual analysis of the behavior of seeking the help of breast cancer patients, this paper explains in detail the definition, attribute, symptom assessment, change of psychological activities, specific cases, and knowledge background of breast cancer, so that relevant personnel has a full understanding of the symptoms and psychological activities of patients, to know the reasonable attitude and make the right behavior. This can not only improve the awareness and significance of seeking help for breast cancer patients but also improve the survival rate of patients.
