Knowledge, attitudes and practices of the educated and non-educated women to cancer of the breast in semi-urban and rural areas of SouthWest, Nigeria

Despite a relatively high literate level in the study group, knowledge of aetiological causes of breast cancer, including risk factors is abysmally low; so is knowledge and attitude to symptoms. Because of this poor/inadequate knowledge, as well as available screening methods, efforts should be made to upgrade the knowledge of our women through Information, Education and Communication (I.E.C) on cancer of the Breast and the consequences of late presentation.
