PRISMA work flowchart was used to select articles. The English language input and the time range2019-2015 were used for the search. There were about 110 articles, 32 of which were included in the study. Then, the qualitative evaluation of articles was done based on the 12-question CASP diagnostic test study checklist and finally 9 articles related to the study were selected.Results: This study analyzed a large number of breast cancer focused programs available to consumers.
