“…In line with this study, a Saudi study found that knowing someone who has BC is a significant predictor of having good knowledge of BSE [ 35 ]. Furthermore, these findings were supported by a study from Brazil, which found that knowing someone with BC had a significant influence on adherence to BSE [ 36 ]. These similarities across the different studies stem from an increased interest in understanding BSE as a result of the experience with the severity of BC.…”

Introduction. Breast self-examination is a noninvasive, low-cost screening method for breast cancer detection. A thorough awareness of breast self-examination enables the early detection of breast abnormalities and dramatically lowers breast cancer complications and mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the level of knowledge about breast self-examination and its associated factors among female students at Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia. Methods. An institution-based cross-sectional study design was employed. The final calculated sample size was 407, and participants were recruited using a proportionate stratified random sampling approach. For data entry and coding, EPI Data 3.1 statistical software was utilized, and for data analysis, SPSS version 18 was employed. The data was described using descriptive analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the strength of the association between the predictor and the outcome variables. A 95% confidence interval and a p-value of less than 0.05 were used to declare statistical significance. Results. The findings of this study revealed that 49.9% of respondents possessed good breast self-examination knowledge. Previously, urban residents were about two times more likely to have good knowledge of BSE than their rural counterparts (AOR =2.16, 95% CI (1.18–39.91), p =0.011). The odds of having good BSE knowledge were about three times more likely among those who had a good attitude than those who had a poor attitude (AOR =3.17, 95% CI (2.02–4.74), p <0.001). Those who knew someone with a diagnosis of breast cancer were almost three times more likely to have good knowledge than those who did not know (AOR =2.95, 95% CI (1.77-4.91), p <0.001). Conclusion. According to the findings of this survey, less than half of the students who participated had good knowledge of breast self-examination. This justifies raising awareness about breast self-examination among female students.

“…This finding is consistent with the observation of a heightened knowledge of a certain cancer when reported among a person's social network, which personalizes the cancer for them. 49,50 Finally, persons may have heard about treatment options for anal cancer, which may have negative associations, further heightening level of worry. 28 The level of worry is a perceived expression that varies with individual personality types and may be subject to behavioral factors that our study was not powered to measure.…”

Background: Anal cancer rates are rising among sexual and gender minorities (SGM) who live with HIV and engage in anal sex. Given that secondary cancer prevention programs for nonanal cancers are underutilized in sub-Saharan Africa, our objective was to assess concerns for anal cancer and hesitancy with cancer prevention among at-risk Nigerian SGM.Methods: Within 4 weeks, SGM living with HIV were surveyed on levels of worry and hesitancy in engaging with a future anal cancer screening and treatment study. Worry was measured on a 5-point Likert scale (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and categorized as low #25%, moderate 50%, and high $75%. Ordinal logistic regression identified factors associated with worry by estimating unadjusted and adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI).Results: Of 800 enrolled SGM, median age was 32 (interquartile range: 25-38) years, 99.2% were on antiretroviral therapy, of which 78.5% reported $95% pill adherence. The prevalence of moderate and high worry was 46.9% and 39.5%, respectively. Increasing worry was associated with reporting as a bottom for sexual position (aOR: 3.12; 95% CI: 2.04 to 4.80), top or bottom for sexual position (aOR: 2.94; 95% CI: 1.92 to 4.52), or knowing anyone with anal cancer (aOR: 2.99; 95% CI: 1.36 to 6.57). Participants aged $35 years were less worried (aOR: 0.72; 95% CI: 0.59 to 0.95). Ninetynine percent of participants provided contact information for a future cancer prevention study.Discussion: SGM who heard about and engaged in at-risk practices for anal cancer were willing to access secondary prevention. Addressing biopsychosocial factors such as age could foster future engagement.

“…entrevistaram 467 mulheres americanas onde mulheres com histórico familiar de câncer de mama são 2,5 vezes prováveis de realizarem a mamografia 23 . Além disso, um estudo realizado em Minas Gerais concluiu que conhecer alguém com câncer de mama também influência na decisão de realizar a prevenção secundária 24 . O seio é um símbolo da feminilidade das mulheres, com isso, conhecer alguém com câncer de mama poderia sensibilizar as mulheres nesse assunto resultando em um maior autocuidado feminino.…”

Objetivo: Identificar os motivos e os fatores associados à não realização da mamografia e do exame de Papanicolaou. Métodos: Este estudo observacional transversal foi conduzido por meio de entrevistas com mulheres de 25 a 69 anos em unidades básicas de saúde. Resultados: Foram incluídas 441 mulheres no estudo, sendo 404 elegíveis para o rastreamento do câncer de colo do útero e 208 para o rastreamento de câncer de mama. A realização da mamografia foi associada ao nível de educação (p<0,001), histórico familiar de câncer de mama (p=0,047), autoavaliação do estado de saúde (p<0,001) e conhecimento prévio sobre a faixa etária (p<0,001) e frequência (p<0,001) do rastreamento preconizada pelo Ministério da Saúde. Contudo, a adesão ao exame de rastreamento do câncer cervical foi associada à idade (p=0,012), autoavaliação do estado de saúde (p<0,001) e conhecimento prévio sobre a faixa etária (p<0,001) e frequência (p=0,027) do exame. Em ambos os grupos, os principais motivos da não adesão ao rastreamento foram: falta de tempo, dificuldade no agendamento na consulta e/ou exame e a pandemia de SARS-Cov-2. Conclusão: Fatores socioeconômicos e educação em saúde influenciam a decisão de participar da prevenção secundária dessas neoplasias. Desse modo, as políticas de saúde devem ser intensificadas, abordando esses tópicos para elevar as taxas de adesão aos exames.
