Breast cancer is cancer with the number of new cases and deaths highest in Indonesia. According to the Data Center and Information Ministry of a health Indonesia in the year 2013, the number of new cases of breast cancer of 819 and the number of deaths amounted to 217. In general, breast cancer known after stepping on an advanced stage. So the methods of early detection of breast cancer are focused on the detection of early stage tumors that are usually small with self-breast examination (SADARI). The purpose of this research is to predict the factors related to the behavior of self-breast examination (SADARI) the housewives aged 40–50 years. This research is an observational study with cross sectional approach. Sample research totaling 100 people  housewife in Kelurahan Sidotopo Wetan Kenjeran Subdistrict Surabaya. The measurement was done by providing a questionnaire to obtain information about the research variables. Variable independent research is k nowledge, attitudes, information accessibility, support health providers and descent with breast cancer. The results of this research showed the variables that are associated with the  SADARI behavior of the housewifes is attitude (p = 0.000), accessibility of information (p = 0.000), and health care providers support (p = 0.010). The majority of housewives in Kelurahan Sidotopo Wetan Kenjeran Sub-district Surabaya showed a good attitude and support toward SADARI. In the area surrounding the residence h ousewife get access information easily. There are no support for doing SADARI from health care providers.

e20543 Background: Advance care planning (ACP) is an important topic for women with metastatic or recurrent cancer. Unfortunately, data suggest ACP is often not discussed at health care visits. Because patients with metastatic or recurrent cancer are incurable, the issue of end of life (EOL) is one faced by patients and providers. This study evaluates how often oncologic health care providers initiate EOL conversations with their patients. Methods: Eligible patients included women with metastatic or recurrent gynecologic or breast cancer of ≥3 month’s duration in an academic women’s oncology program. Interviews were conducted by research staff. Clinical characteristics and documentation of EOL decisions were obtained through chart reviews. Data were analyzed using SAS v.9.3. Multivariate logistic regression was used to model the association of EOL discussions with ACP. The study was approved by the hospital and university Institutional Review Boards. Results: 200 women were enrolled; 64% had stage III-IV cancer at diagnosis. The majority was white (91%) with a mean age of 60 (range 35-82). A total of 638 providers were identified (mean: 3.2 providers per patient; 57% female). Health care provider type and gender were not associated with EOL discussions. Only 49 women (25%) recalled an EOL conversation with at least one provider which appeared to correspond to the low proportion of people with documented ACP. Only 42 (22%) had an advanced directive (AD) and 29 (15%) a health care proxy (HCP) in the chart. Having an EOL conversation with at least one provider was not associated with a chart-documented AD (OR=1.6, 95% CI=0.7-3.6) or HCP (OR=1.8, 95% CI=0.7-4.5). The time since recurrence was shorter for those reporting EOL conversations (1.7 vs. 3.1 years, p=.0274). Conclusions: In this study, oncologic health care providers infrequently initiated EOL discussions with their patients with metastatic or recurrent cancer. More concerning, patient recollection of an EOL discussion with a provider was not associated with chart-documented ACP. Further studies evaluating the factors limiting EOL discussions as well as studies testing interventions to improve provider documentation of the ACP are warranted.

Abstract Background Early diagnosis is a key determinant of breast cancer prognosis and survival. More than half of breast cancer cases are diagnosed at an advanced stage in Ethiopia, and the barriers to early diagnosis in this country are not well understood. We aimed to identify the perceived barriers to early diagnosis of breast cancer from the perspective of patients and health care providers in south and southwestern Ethiopia. Methods A qualitative study was conducted from March to April 2018 using in-depth interviews of breast cancer patients and breast cancer health care providers from six public hospitals located in urban and rural areas of south and southwestern Ethiopia. All participants proved verbal consent before participating. A thematic analysis was performed using Open Code 4.02. Results Twelve breast cancer patients and thirteen health care providers were included in the study. Patient and health-system related barriers to early diagnosis of breast cancer were identified. Patient-related barriers were lack of knowledge and awareness of breast cancer, belief in traditional medicine and religious practices for treatment, and lack of social and financial support to seek care at a medical facility. Health-system related barriers were misdiagnosis of breast cancer, long distance to referral facilities, high cost of diagnostic services, long waiting time for diagnostic tests, and lack of screening and diagnostic tests in local facilities. Conclusions Early diagnosis of breast cancer is affected by multiple barriers in south and southwestern Ethiopia. Awareness campaigns and education about the disease, prevention, and early detection are needed to increase early diagnosis of breast cancer. Opportunities exist to improve early diagnosis and timely treatment in rural areas.
