- W2893031726 abstract "Background: Clinical breast examination (CBE) is one of the most accessible screening methods for breast cancer and widely used in the Malaysian public health system due to the wide availability of trained healthcare personnel and low costs; especially in government hospitals. However, discovery of an abnormal finding from the CBE does not necessarily translate into action for further clinical investigations. An understanding of the patients' motivations in decision making, which causes them to ignore the need for further clinical investigations despite abnormal findings in CBEs may be an important element to improve holistic cancer prevention efforts; of which early detection is a key strategy. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the barriers for women to receive follow-up care upon obtaining abnormal results for CBE. Methods: The National Cancer Society of Malaysia has an active ongoing public outreach program in which trained healthcare personnel conduct CBEs at various screening campaigns throughout the Klang Valley with a total of 1017 women screened in 2017. Women who were screened and found to have an abnormal finding from the CBE were referred for further investigations at a center of their choice. Women found to have an abnormal CBE finding were reached via a phone call to determine whether they had proceeded to i) get an appointment for further clinical examination; or ii) had already undergone a further clinical examination. Those who had done neither were interviewed via phone to determine their reasons for not proceeding with further clinical investigations despite an abnormal CBE finding. Results: Out of the 1017 women screened, 38 were found to have an abnormal CBE finding. Of them, 16 women had not sought further investigations. Qualitative interviews revealed that there strong issues that posed barriers to these women pursuing further investigations. These barriers included a lack of knowledge and understanding about breast cancer or rationale of undergoing a CBE; a lack of urgency pertaining to CBE results and feeling of embarrassment engaging with family members on facilitating attendance to the investigation. Conclusion: Significant barriers remain which deter women who have abnormal CBE findings from pursuing further clinical investigations which ultimately reduces the effectiveness of current breast cancer screening strategies. These findings may prove to be important for designing effective methods to encourage confirmatory clinical examination among those already found to have abnormal findings from tests such as the CBE." @default.
