Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Summary

Despite high awareness of breast cancer screening methods like mammography, many women do not practice them regularly. Interventions must address behavioral and psychosocial barriers to improve screening adherence.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Public Health
  • Preventive Medicine

Background:

  • Breast cancer is a leading global malignancy in women, necessitating early detection for improved outcomes.
  • Screening methods including breast self-examination, clinical breast examination, and mammography are crucial for early diagnosis.
  • Suboptimal adherence to breast cancer screening guidelines remains a significant public health challenge.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate women's knowledge, attitudes, and practices concerning breast cancer screening.
  • To identify key factors influencing women's engagement in breast cancer preventive behaviors.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study involving 1233 women utilized a structured, self-administered questionnaire.
  • Data encompassed sociodemographic details, awareness of screening modalities, attitudes towards prevention, and actual screening practices.
  • Multivariate regression analyses identified predictors of knowledge and attitudes.

Main Results:

  • High awareness levels were reported for breast self-examination (96.5%), clinical breast examination (94.5%), and mammography (95.0%).
  • A significant disparity was observed between knowledge and practice; only 22.7% performed monthly breast self-examination.
  • Mammography uptake was 86% every two years for women aged 45+, but clinical examination adherence was lower (49.4% within the past year).
  • Education, income, age, and residence were significant predictors of screening outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • A notable gap persists between women's awareness of breast cancer screening and their actual screening practices.
  • Future interventions should target behavioral, psychosocial, and structural barriers to enhance screening participation.
