Research Article: A Cross-Sectional Evaluation of Knowledge About Breast Cancer and Perceived Barriers to the Uptake of Mammogram Screening Among Northern Saudi Women: A Population-Based Study

Date Published: 2023-07-10

Abstract:
Breast cancer (BC) is the most frequently identified cancer among women globally, especially in developed countries, according to the World Health Organization.– Similarly, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), BC is now the most common cancer diagnosed in the female population due to changes in lifestyle and other factors, such as older age, a family history of BC, obesity, and low physical activity levels. Understanding risk factors associated with this disease and developing strategies to minimize them can help to reduce associated morbidity and mortality rates. In addition to targeting risk factors, making an early diagnosis is also vital for improving survival rates (to ?%) among this group, which may not be possible after a late diagnosis., The global initiative for BC, in addition to screening, advocates for good health by educating women and health care workers about the risk factors and the signs and symptoms of BC. Knowing this information is essential for early referral, screening, and the timely detection and management of BC.
