Cancer Early Detection

<b><i>Background:</i></b> Although immigrant health is an important issue in national health policy, there is a serious shortage of data in many countries. Most studies lack information on educational status, which is a major limitation. This prospective cross-sectional study analyzed a real-world breast cancer population on the influence of immigration background and educational status on participation in breast cancer early detection programs in the federal state of Lower Saxony, Germany. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Data collection was conducted from 2012 to 2016 in six certified breast cancer centers using a standardized questionnaire for patients’ interview and tumor-specific data from the patients’ medical records. <b><i>Results:</i></b> 2,145/3,047 primary breast cancer cases were analyzed. 17.5% of our patients had a history of immigration, including <i>n</i> = 202 first-generation immigrants and <i>n</i> = 168 second-generation immigrants. Most of them were citizens of EU27 member states. No significant difference was seen in age, tumor stage, histology, grading, Ki-67, Her2/neu-status, and hormone receptor status compared to the native cohort. 100% participation rate in the breast cancer early detection programs were seen in patients with no school graduation. With regards to the national mammography screening program, participation decreased significantly with educational status (<i>p</i> = 0.0003). <b><i>Conclusions:</i></b> No tumor biological differences were seen between immigrants and German natives. In first-generation immigrants, early detection programs were well accepted despite sociocultural and language differences. Participation rate decreased significantly with higher education levels irrespective of country of origin. Immigration background does not have a negative effect on the participation in breast cancer screening. This mainly relates to immigrants from EU27 member states.

Cancer Early Detection

Background: Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. In 2012, cancer was the cause of death for around 8.2 million people. Early detection of breast cancer with SADANIS method in Central Java is still low, namely 0.30% women in reproductive age. The SADANIS method is one of the government’s efforts to reduce the incidence of breast cancer. To determine the factors associated with the behavior of women on reproductive age in early detection of breast cancer using the SADANIS method in Jatirejo Village, Central Java. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted at Suruh Community Health Center, Jatirejo Village, Central Java. The population in this study were 604 women of reproductive age aged 20-45 years in Jatirejo Village. A total of 86 women were enrolled in this study. The dependent variable was SADANIS method. The independent variables were education, occupation, husband’s supports, and attitude. The data were collected and then analyzed using Chi-square test. Results: There was a relationship between husband’s support (OR= 4.58; p=0.015) and attitude (OR= 11.96; p<0.001) with behavior in doing SADANIS among women in reproductive age and they were statistically significant. There was no relationship between education and occupation on the breast cancer early detection using SADANIS method. Conclusion: The better the attitude, the better the behavior of women in reproductive age in early detection of breast cancer with SADANIS method in Jatirejo Village, Semarang Regency.

Abstract Background: Early detection of breast cancer plays an important role in decreasing morbidity and mortality associated with breast cancer. Breast self-examination (BSE) is one of the screening methods for early detection of breast cancer. BSE involves the woman herself looking at and feeling each breast for possible lumps, distortions or swelling. BSE is a simple exercise which can potentially save the life of a woman but it is not well focused yet. So, this study was aimed to assess breast Self-Examination and associated factors among women in Wolaita Sodo city, Ethiopia. Methods: Community based cross-sectional study design was employed. Systematic random sampling technique was used to select 626 women aged 20-65 years old. The data were collected using pre-tested and structured questionnaire. The data was entered using Epi data version 3.5.1 and exported to SPSS version 21 software for statistical analysis. Bivariable and multiple logistic regression analysis were done.Variables with P-value less than 0.05 were considered as statically significant. Results: A total of 629 women were included in the study. More than half (60.9%) of the participants were in the age range of 20-29 years. Women who had mentioned BSE as method for early detection of breast problem were 6.36 times (AOR: 6.36, 95% CI :( 3.72, 10.71) more likely to perform BSE than those who say that they don’t know any method. Women breast feed 13-24 months were 2.43 times AOR: 2.43, 95% CI :( 1.28, 4.59) more likely to examine their breast than those who breast feed different duration. Employed women were 3.13 times more likely AOR: 3.13 95% CI :( 1.14, 8.58) to practice BSE than women not employed. Likewise being student was 3.73 times AOR: 3.73, 95% CI (1.19, 11.73) more likely to perform BSE than others. Conclusion: The finding of this study showed that women’s practice of breast self-examination is relatively low. Knowledge of BSE, breast feeding 13-24 months, being employed and being student were factors affecting performing breast self-examination. Therefore, educating girls and increasing awareness on electronics media is important.

Detection And Identification

Background: Early detection and identification of the risk factors is crucial in minimizing morbidity and mortality arising due to breast cancer. Research has proven that, physiotherapist as a part of multidisciplinary team, plays an important role in treating these patients after surgery. However, evidence suggesting the role of physiotherapist in the domain of health promotion and prevention is limited. Thus an effort is made in this study to explore the level of awareness about the risk factors and prevention and to predict the percent risk of having breast cancer in future five years.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in the urban slums of Turbhe. 200 females aged 35 years and above were selected. A self structured questionnaire was formed using Gail’s model. The questionnaire was validated and a house to house survey was conducted.Results: 67.5% females thought that alcohol/tobacco consumption carried the highest risk of breast cancer. 61.5% females were aware of lack of breast feeding as the risk factor for breast cancer. 74% females did not know about breast self – examination while 78.5% had not heard about mammography as screening methods for breast cancer prevention. 14.5% females carried a high risk of getting breast cancer in the future five years.Conclusions: Awareness of study participants about breast cancer was very poor. There is a need for awareness programs to educate women about risk factors and promotion of early detection of breast cancer.

Background: Worldwide breast cancer is one of the most common type of non-skin cancer in women and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. As the incidence of breast cancer is rising, there is a current need to educate the women on preventive measures of breast cancer. The objectives of the study were to assess the knowledge on risk factors and on the preventive measures of breast cancer among women aged 20-30 years.Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted among 200 women aged 20-30 years residing in an urban area in Coimbatore. A questionnaire was designed to assess the awareness levels on risk factors and the preventive measures of Breast cancer among the study participants.Results: The study showed that most of the women (91%) were not aware about the risk factors of breast cancer and only 7.5% knew that lesser duration of breast feeding for <6 months is an important risk factor for breast cancer. 89.5% were not aware about the symptoms of breast cancer. 92.5% were not aware about the preventive measures of breast cancer. None of them were aware of breast self-examination (BSE) as an important early detection measure for breast cancer. Comparing the educational status and the level of awareness on Breast cancer among the study subjects we found that the educational status had significant influence on the level of awareness on breast cancer (p<0.0001).Conclusions: The knowledge on risk factors, symptoms and on the preventive measures of breast cancer among the women aged 20-30 years was very low. To increase the awareness about breast cancer in the community, frequent educational interventions and screening programs needs to be conducted by health workers.
