- Introduction: Gender violence is the most extreme expression of inequality between men and women. This problem affects multiple spheres of women and their maintenance over time is conditioned by the "Cycle of Violence". - Objective: To know the existing methods for addressing gender violence from the PA consultation. - Methodology: A bibliographic review has been carried out with the keywords in the databases of Pubmed, Lilacs, Dialnet and the Cochrane Library. Likewise, information has been obtained from official websites (government). - Results: To be able to detect gender violence from the care consultation the nurse must take into account the main difficulties that arise in the consultation, as well as the most effective tools for detection. Also, the nurse will be obliged to know how to act in front of this violence taking into account the process in which women find themselves.

Introduction: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. It consists of an abnormal growth of cells that can affect nearby tissues and malignant them. The symptoms that appear in affected patients are: orange peel, asymmetry of the breasts, discharge in the nipple, retraction of the nipple, lump in the breast or lump in the armpit, among others. To diagnose it, it is necessary to perform tests such as a mammogram, ultrasound or PAAF in some cases. The pharmacological treatment that exists today is chemotherapy or radiotherapy depending on the stage and expansion of the tumor. In addition, there is also surgical treatment for the removal of the tumor or breast. Objective: Determine which intervention is most effective for the total elimination of breast cancer. Method: We carry out a bibliographic search of scientific documents found in databases such as Pubmed, Cochrane, Dialnet and Google Scholar published in English and Spanish in 2020-2021, which meet the objectives and inclusion and exclusion criteria raised. Results: Chemotherapy is a very important factor during the treatment of the tumor, it will generate side effects that will be associated with physical activity, producing an increase in quality of life in these patients. In addition, there is a surgical treatment that consists of performing mastectomy or traditional surgery. And, we will also see the importance of the role of nursing throughout the disease. Conclusions: Chemotherapy helps with tumor reduction, along with radiotherapy, but this entails the presence of side effects, such as vomiting, fatigue, hair loss, insomnia or lymphedema among others. Physical activity is a good factor for improving side effects. In turn, there is controversy about what treatment would be indicated for the end of the disease. We will also emphasize the figure of the nurse during this process.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second leading cause of cancer in men in the United States and in the European Union. Low-dose-rate brachytherapy (LDR-BT) represents a consolidated treatment option in the management of low risk and intermediate risk localized PCa. However, due to the higher sensitivity to fraction dose of PCa cells, High-dose-rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) has emerged as a treatment option owing to its highly conformal dose distribution within the prostate and an abrupt dose fall-off outside, saving organs at risk. To realize the potential acute and chronic side effects as well as their impact on health-related quality of life (QoL), are considered important endpoints in the choice of a treatment modality. Despite this, the use of prospective validated questionnaires that assess long-term toxicity of LDR-BT and HDR-BT are rarely used. QoL results are scarce in literature. The aim of this review is to evaluate the evidence of LDR-BT and HDR-BT in the treatment of localized PCa as well as its potential acute and chronic toxicities and QoL impact.
