Abstract

Misconceptions and wrong beliefs about cancer leads to obstacles in the screening programs and treatment procedures of cancer disease. Method & material: In order to determine the level of KNOWLEDGE and attitude of women with primary GYNECOLOGIC CANCERs, analytical descriptive studies were conducted on 200 diseased women in Valie Asre and Mirza Kuchak Khan Hospitals, who were intertwined consecutively if they were inclined.Results: Of 115 (58%) patients who knew that their disease was malignant, 56 of them were aware of the exact diagnosis. 58% believed that doctors must say the exact diagnosis. The level of general KNOWLEDGE about cancer was poor in 34%.Regarding cancer risk factors 47% had poor level of KNOWLEDGE. MISCONCEPTION about injury and depression as predisposing factors were common.Level of general KNOWLEDGE was significantly higher in younger than in older patients (p<0.05). Also, patients with more formal education had higher level of KNOWLEDGE (p<0.0001). Patients who received information from medical personnel and who were aware of the diagnosis had higher level of KNOWLEDGE (p<0.0001).Conclusion: The level of KNOWLEDGE about cancer should be promoted in both the general public and in patients. Medical personnel may play a great role in this field.
