“…More than 33% of participants reported a lack of knowledge about breast selfexamination, and 22% reported shyness [14] . The role of media was found as the main factor for the information in our current study and this is identical with other studies [15,16,17] . The use of different modes of breast imaging for the detection and classification of breast lesions, breast lesion segmentation, breast density evaluation help to decrease breast cancer risk and improve in treating breast lesion problem.…”

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: A good knowledge of the predictive and precepting factors can reduce the risk of breast cancer. This study aimed to assess female patients' knowledge of breast cancer, self-examination techniques, and other screening methods. METHODOLOGY: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out at the territory care hospital Khurrianwala Faisalabad, including 500 women attending the outpatient department from June 2022 to November 2022 after taking informed consent. Data collected by filling out a validated questionnaire was analyzed through SPSS software version 22.0. Relationships between categorical variables were tested by using the chi-square test, and a p<0.05 is considered highly significant. RESULTS: Out of 500 study participants, 304(60.8 %) know about breast cancer, of which 64(12.8 %) have a positive family history, 436(87.2 %) have no history of breast cancer, and 196(39.2%) were unaware of breast cancer. Out of the total participants, 60.8 % were aware of Breast self-examination, while 39.2% did not know. There is a significant association for the practice of breast self-examination in the population above higher education p-value≤0.001. Similarly, occupation p-value≤0.001, marital status p-value=0.040, and education p-value≤0.001 have significant associations with BSE. CONCLUSION: The current study showed that knowledge of breast cancer and the practice of BSE and mammography were very poor. A health education program involving the local and governing bodies should be organized to reduce the prevalence and create awareness.

“…So, prevention is the best way to deal with this disease and early detection is the keystone in preventing further spread and successful treatment (Loomans-Kropp& Umar, 2019). Early detection of BC can be achieved through different programs of screening using different ways that range from the easiest and faster method (Breast self-examination) to more complicated instrument-based methods such as mammograms (Fatouh et al, 2020) This study aimed to review these different methods used for screening and early detection of BC to be well known to physicians and health policymakers.…”

Breast cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the breast tissue and is commonly detected, especially in women. Approximately one out of every 10 diagnosed cancer cases is reported as breast cancer. In 2020, there were 2.3 million cases of breast cancer detected, resulting in 685,000 deaths within the same year. Early detection of breast cancer is crucial and can be achieved through various screening programs. These programs utilize different methods, ranging from the simplest and quickest method, which is breast self-examination, to more complex instrument-based methods like mammograms. Screening is the primary tool for detecting breast cancer at an early stage, even before patients experience any symptoms. This early detection allows for more successful and beneficial treatment, increasing the chances of survival and reducing the risk of death from breast cancer. The ultimate goal of breast cancer screening is to detect cancer in its preclinical stage when no symptoms are felt or seen by the patients. This early diagnosis leads to more effective treatment outcomes. According to the American Cancer Society, the 5-year relative survival rate for localized breast cancer, which means the cancer has not spread outside the breast, is 99 percent. It's important to note that different screening options are available, and the choice of the right method depends on factors such as a woman's age, the presence of risk factors, and availability. However, screening also carries some risks, including false-positive test results and overdiagnosis of harmless lesions.
