Abstract :

Breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women worldwide. The chance of a woman having breast cancer during her life is one in eight. Early detection is key in the treatment of breast cancer. Early detection practices (EDP) consist of clinical breast examination (CBE) and mammography. Breast self-examination (BSE) is no longer generally recommended, but many women still perform it. Aim of this study was to screen women at reproductive age in Beni Suef city for early detection and prevention of breast cancer. An intervention study and purposive sample was used. Women in reproductive age attended outpatient clinic of University Hospital. Early detection of cancerous tumors among women of reproductive age raised women awareness regarding methods of early tumors detection, preparation, implementation and evaluation of the outreach program provided, referral of suspected cases and guide to places of early diagnosis and treatment in accordance with each case.
