Breast Cancer (BrCa) is an uncontrolled and persistent cellular proliferation that arises in the lining cells of the ducts or lobes of the breast glandular tissue, and occurs mostly in women. The early prevention of BrCa in young populations, of both sexes, through educational health interventions, should be a priority, as it is a low-cost method that allows broad access. The university environment is an ideal place to provide this type of training. The present work shows the educational interventions in BrCa with a preventive nature carried out with university students. To this end, an integrative review of the articles published in the period 2018 to 2023 was carried out, in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and including both the female and male gender, in the following databases: PubMed, JENE, Scielo, EBSCO and in the Google academic search engine. The key words were used: breast cancer, educational interventions and universities; selecting a total of 10 items. Health education is shown as an important tool that is increasingly strengthened, as a method to transmit and solidify knowledge of promotion and prevention; however, it is necessary to strengthen interventions, clarifying their theoretical-methodological foundations and promoting development. of practical skills, through active methods. The findings confirm the importance of these interventions and outline the gaps in them, as paths to follow in order to prevent this pathology that is among the main causes of death, especially in women.
