Strategies to shed light on clinical gaps could better support country\u2010specific circumstances. The aims of the mapping study were to identify the gaps in the evidence base, for the management of breast cancer with relevance to Bahrain and the Gulf Region. In parallel, focusing on areas and directions of research, which are compatible with international and local clinical interests. It was envisaged that the mapping project would expose not only opportunities to improve support to the community but also illustrate the possible engagement of a government entity and a Nongovernment Organization in a private\u2010public partnership.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Method<\/jats:title><jats:p>An extensive literature review of local and international publications from the period between 1979 and 2015 was undertaken.

Three broad but key areas were identified after mapping of the literature, covering:screening and mammography, knowledge translation and dissemination, and lymphoedema postsurgical resection. Similar mapping projects could be undertaken by other national NGO's to better support the government and solidify the framework for a public\u2010private partnership.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/jebm.12357","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,23]],"date-time":"2019-08-23T03:10:06Z","timestamp":1566529806000},"page":"209-217","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["A mapping study and recommendations for a joint NGO (Think Pink) and Bahrain Government Breast Cancer project"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8529-4727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Julie","family":"Sprakel","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics Riberio Preto Medical School University of Sao Paulo  Brazil"},{"name":"Think Pink: Bahrain Breast Cancer Society  Manama Kingdom of Bahrain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Helio","family":"Carrara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics Riberio Preto Medical School University of Sao Paulo  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bruce M.","family":"Manzer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Bahrain Ministry of State Director of Research  Manama Kingdom of Bahrain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zbys","family":"Fedorowicz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Veritas Health Sciences Consultancy  Bridgewater New Jersey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,22]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","unstructured":"WHO | Cancer.Cancer.http:\/\/www.who.int\/mediacentre\/factsheets\/fs297\/en\/.
