Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals limited knowledge of breast self-examination among patients, highlighting barriers to early detection.

Key Points

  • Limited knowledge of breast cancer observed, leading to inadequate practice of breast self-examination.
  • Correlations show awareness of risk factors and demographics significantly impact BSE performance among patients.
  • Cross-sectional survey conducted revealed strong associations between inadequate knowledge and BSE participation.
  • Educational initiatives are crucial to address knowledge gaps and improve early detection practices for breast cancer.
