BackgroundAn increase of access to knowledge about early detection techniques of breast cancer can reduce this mortality rate. This study aimed to determine the knowledge and source of information about early detection techniques of breast cancer among Iranian women.MethodsBoth International (PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) and national (scientific information database [SID] and Magiran) databases were reviewed launching to September, 2017 to obtain related articles. Steps involving the screening, analysis of quality of the studies and extraction of papers were performed by two researchers.ResultsOf the 749 studies searched initially, 25 studies performed on 11,756 people were selected for the final stage. General knowledge for breast cancer screening among women ranged from 4.5% to 45%. The number of people with sufficient knowledge about breast self-examination in various studies was between 5% and 79.8%. The most important source of information was the Healthcare team.ConclusionsConsidering the poor knowledge and different source of information, it is suggested that educational programs be conducted around the country especially in at-risk populations.

Background: Breast cancer is the most common cancer found in women, and screening is the best way to make an early diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the rate of screening mammography and related variables in the mammography center of Mousavi Hospital, located in Zanjan, Iran. Methods: This was a prospective descriptive study. Study sample size was 526 women who were selected by a convenience sampling method. Data collection instrument was a multisection questionnaire and this was completed by a trained radiology technologist through interviews. In cases referred to ultrasonography or histopathological evaluation, follow-up of the women was conducted to obtain their results. Results: Results showed that the rate of screening mammography was 27.4%. Educated women and women, who had a family history of breast cancer, were more likely to have a screening mammography. Among the referrals, 71% were between the age of 30-50 years and the most common complaint in the diagnostic mammography patients was breast pain. The findings of mammography in 33% of patients were normal, 2.3% were malignant and the rest of the cases were as follows: dense breast, axillary lymph node, benign mass, fibrocystic breast and calcification. For the women who had a further evaluation; 26% were referred to ultrasonography, and 1.4% were referred for a breast biopsy. The findings of ultrasonography and pathology confirmed malignancy in 4 women. Conclusion: According to the study's results, there is a need to provide information and mass education about screening mammography, breast cancer risk factors and symptoms in Zanjan.

“…Use of oral contraceptives increasing the risk of breast cancer was better known in the group with no family history of the disease. Age of the start of the menstrual cycle, obesity and age at the time of the birth of first child were the risk factors [28][29][30] The attitude towards and practices regarding breast cancer were higher in the group with a family history of the disease, but this difference was not significant (Table 2). This is in line with the previous findings.…”

Pakistan has one of the highest incidence rates of breast cancer in Asia.Breast cancer is a major contributor towards cancer related mortality and morbidity in Pakistani women. The study aimed to examine the effects of family history of breast cancer on the knowledge, attitude and practices regarding breast cancer and its screening methods amongst women of Lahore. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 504 randomly selected women using a self-administered, structured questionnaire. Study suggested no significant difference between the knowledge scores of women with a family history of breast cancer (Mother, grandmother, sister, cousin and aunt). Mean knowledge score regarding breast cancer and its risk factors was 63.3% for women with a family history and 59.3% for women with no family history. The mean attitude scores and practice scores were 89.5% and 37% for women with the family history of the disease. In comparison the attitude and practice scores of women with no family history of the disease were lower at 88.3% and 35.7% respectively. The differences in attitude and practice scores, however, were not significant. Findings suggested that regardless of the family history of the disease, women had a very poor knowledge about Breast Cancer, its risk factors and its screening. Attitude was comparatively positive but practices were close to nothing.
