“…BSE alone did not show a decrease in mortality or down-staging of advanced cancer in earlier clinical trials, but is expected to increase breast cancer awareness and might help to decrease tumour size and stage at diagnosis in settings where women mainly present with late stages (Garg et al, 2010;Mittra, 2011;Corbex et al, 2012;Panieri, 2012).…”

“…Ghazali et al stated that females who never practice BSE in their lives were more likely to be diagnosed with the delay of BC compared to those who regularly implemented BSE (Ghazali et al, 2013). It may lead to increase the BC awareness and might lessen the malignancy stage at admission period in a location where women especially could not take advantage of early diagnostic methods including clinical breast examination, mammography, and ultrasonography (Parvani, 2011;Corbex et al, 2012;Panieri, 2012). Moreover, BSE is a non-invasive intervention carried out by females themselves without any support of medical health-care providers.…”

Background: Breast cancer (BC) is the most common cancer among females in Turkey. Predictors affecting the breast self-examination (BSE) performance vary in developing countries. Objective: To determine the frequency of BSE performance and predictors of self-reported BSEs among women in the capital city of Turkey. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 376 Turkish women using a selfadministered questionnaire covering socio-demographic variables and BSE-related features. Results: Of the participants, 78.7% (N=296) reported practicing BSE, whereas 9.5% (N=28) were implementing BSE regularly on a monthly basis, and only 5.7% (N=17) were performing BSE regularly within a week after each menstrual cycle. Multivariate logistic regression modeling revealed that BSE performance was more likely in younger age groups [20-39 years] (p=0.018, OR=3.215) and [40-49 years] (p=0.009, OR=3.162), women having a family history of breast disease (p=0.038, OR=2.028), and housewives (p=0.013, OR=0.353). Conclusions: Although it appears that the rates of BSE performers are high, the number of women conducting appropriate BSE on a regular time interval basis is lower than expected. Younger age groups, family history of breast diseases and not being employed were identified as significant predictors of practicing BSE appropriately. Older age and employment were risk factors for not performing BSE in this sample.

“…El autoexamen de mama (AEM) es un método de evaluación continua que, de ser efectivo, podría ser simple y barato. Si este es el caso, permitiría que el diagnóstico sea temprano y que la mortalidad se reduzca en países en desarrollo (4,5), particularmente en contextos que carecen de acceso a tecnologías modernas y especializadas. Se sugiere que el AEM puede reducir la mortalidad por cáncer de mama en países donde el diagnóstico suele darse en estadios avanzados (4).…”
