- W2247153520 abstract "Introduction Breast cancer is the commonest cancer in women worldwide and is the second commonest cause of cancer deaths in women in Uganda after cervical cancer. Research on breast cancer awareness and practices in Uganda is scanty. Aim and objectives To describe the knowledge of women about breast cancer, breast cancer risk, risk reduction and early diagnostic practices as well as their attitudes and practices towards this. Methods This was a community-based household survey. A researcher administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Results Four hundred and fourteen women were interviewed. 56% were aged 18-30. 74% lived in urban and 5% in rural settings. Fifty six percent did not know any breast cancer risk factors, 61% knew that breast self-exam is a breast cancer early detection practice and only 4% knew mammography and breast ultra sound scan. Sixty six percent knew that breast cancer has treatment. Sixteen percent believed that breast cancer is a death sentence, 5% believed that breast cancer is curable. Women who were above 50 years of age, those who had formal education and those residing within 5km of a health facility were more likely to be informed about breast cancer, breast cancer risk, risk reduction and early detection practices and were more likely to have favourable attitudes. Conclusions There are low levels of knowledge of breast cancer, breast cancer risk, risk reduction and early detection practices and involvement in these practices is poor among women in Kyadondo County.
