Breast Cancer (Knowledge and Attitude of Women Toward Breast Cancer Screening)

Abstract Background: Breast cancer is still the most commonly diagnosed cancer and a top cause of cancer deaths in women worldwide. While we've made progress with diagnostic tech, finding cancer early through screenings like BSE, CBE, and mammograms is key to saving lives. Yet, there's a big difference between knowing about these screenings and actually doing them, especially in low- and middle-income areas. Socioeconomic, cultural, and educational obstacles make early intervention really hard in those places. Breast cancer has become the foremost cancer in females, especially in India, since studies have shown a stark contrast between rural and urban areas when it comes to screening awareness and uptake.
Methods: This study offers a detailed look at breast cancer screening today. We combine recent epidemiological info with regional KAP findings. Using a systematic method, we assess screening adherence by focusing on health literacy, institutional support, and economic factors. These elements help promote early detection.
Results: While global understanding of breast cancer grows, turning that knowledge into actual screenings is still tough due to lingering myths and inadequate systems. Studies show we need customized education and solid healthcare processes to bridge these gaps and boost screening rates in different groups.
Conclusion: To fight breast cancer, we need a range of public health plans. Educating women with targeted awareness campaigns and making screening easier through policy changes is key. This helps lower the worldwide spread of late-stage breast cancer.
