“…This increases the amount of time women produce the cell-proliferating hormone oestrogen. Nasrollahzadeh et al (2020) also attributed low incidence of breast cancer among women to their low economic and social status, suggesting breast cancer is a disease of affluence. This is echoed by concerns of the possibility of obesity as a predisposing factor to breast cancer raised in the present study, which could have been influenced by obesity misconceptions in African society that mostly associate the condition with affluence.…”

This article focuses on breast cancer as the second most prevalent cancer in Zimbabwe. However, despite several local studies on breast cancer and its risk factors, the incidence rate of the disease in the country is increasing. This article sought to establish the level of awareness of the risk factors of breast cancer among female students. The study was carried out at Great Zimbabwe University, an institution of higher learning in Masvingo province, Zimbabwe. A mixed methods approach was employed involving a focus group discussion comprising eight key informants and online individual questionnaires with open and closed questions used to capture attitudes of female students towards breast cancer. Risk factors were categorised into age, family history, reproductive factors, oestrogen, and lifestyle. There were also some cultural beliefs like bewitchment and myths about black brassieres causing breast cancer. Thus, there is need for educative campaigns to disseminate breast cancer information, especially promoting regular screening and awareness of predisposing factors. Additionally, more regular and in-depth studies on breast cancer in Zimbabwe are imperative as our results show a higher prevalence rate than current official statistics. The research provides relevant information for pastoral caretakers handling trauma in the discipline of practical theology.Contribution: This article represents an intersection between practical theology and basic health care. Insights resulted from this study provide a baseline upon which to develop ways to reduce prevalence of breast cancer. The research can also be utilised by specialists in pastoral care and women theologies.

“…This system has evolved the consistency in radiology reporting along with being efficient and delivering a cost-effective approach which will be used in the foreseeable future. [ 18 ] The early finding and prevention is a vital part of halting the disease progression and improving the patients’ quality of life. Thus, such prevalence studies and screening programs are required for planning the preventive strategies and effective management of breast cancers.…”

Background: For recognizing the initial stages of breast cancer, mammography is regarded as one of the best modalities and plays a crucial part to lessen morbidity and mortality. For collaborative studies and planning of preventive strategies, it is significant to have baseline data. Thus, in this survey, the frequency distribution of breast imaging reporting and data system (BIRADS) classification and breast consistencies was investigated during the mammographic screening program in the Gwalior region, India. Material and Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted in the Gwalior region, India, in which 1,838 patients were screened with the aid of mammography. The mammography films were evaluated by a single radiologist who determined the BIRADS score, breast composition, and any other abnormal findings. After tabulating the data into MS Excel (MS Office version 2007 developed by Microsoft, Redmond, WA), descriptive analysis and Chi-square test were performed to determine the association between the BIRADS score and breast consistency and setting significance level at (below) 0.05. Results: The most commonly found BIRADS score was score 1 (53.4%), followed by score 2 (20.4%), and score 5 was of the least frequency (1.3%). Similarly, the most common consistency found was fatty (48.2%) and the least common was heterogeneously dense (3.97%). The most BIRADS category of 0 was seen in heterogeneously dense ( n = 22; 26%) followed by dense breast compositions ( n = 18; 25%). The most common consistency found with known breast malignancy (BIRADS 6) patients was the extremely dense breast ( n = 11; 40.7%). Conclusion: In this study, it was observed that about 57.3% of all the cases were categorized as BIRADS 1 and 20.8% as BIRADS 2.

Literacy in self-breast examination (SADARI) still lacks attention from the community. Urban women in marginal communities even have limited access to health information. As a result, early detection of breast cancer remains a significant challenge for them. This study aims to obtain an overview of SADARI literacy among urban women in marginal communities. The study was conducted using a descriptive quantitative approach with a random sampling technique. The respondents were 79 women from the Az Zahra fisherman community in Ujung Tanah District, Makassar. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire sheet and observations consisting of 20 questions. The collected data were analyzed with descriptive statistics using Excel. The early cancer detection variables used are self-breast examination (SADARI) and clinical breast examination (SADANIS). The results of this study indicate that SADARI literacy among urban women in marginal communities is still low. There are five indicators measured in this study, with the results showing respondents who have a good understanding of the purpose of SADARI (27%), the benefits of SADARI (11%), how to perform SADARI (7%), the appropriate time to perform SADARI (13%), and the signs found and the appropriate time to perform SADANIS (23%). This research can be a reference for the government to promote the socialization of early breast cancer detection that reaches marginal communities.
