Title

Breast Cancer Awareness in Myanmar: Results of a Hospital-based Study in Mandalay

Pages

  210-215

Abstract

 Background: Although Breast cancer is an important health problem in Myanmar, awareness of breast health has not been widely described. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out to explore awareness of early signs and risk factors of Breast cancer among outpatient attendees at the Mandalay Central Women Hospital. Results: A total of 402 respondents with mean age of 31. 4± 9. 0 years participated in the study. More than half of the respondents (65. 9%) were aware of breast lumps as a Breast cancer sign. Nearly half (42% to 48. 7%) of the respondents were aware of the various risk factors of Breast cancer. Although 54. 1% had heard of breast self-examination, only 25. 3% had knowledge of mammograms. Older women (age 49 years or more) had significantly better awareness of two early Breast cancer signs; change of breast shape (54. 1% vs 39. 9%) and discharge from nipple (49. 2% vs 33. 4%). Those with less than high school education had significantly lower awareness of the following signs of Breast cancer; thickening of the breast skin (39. 3 % vs 20. 45%), dimpling of the breast skin (43. 2% vs 24. 6%), change of breast shape (52. 5% vs 35. 2%), and discharge from nipple (44. 9% vs 31. 9%). They also displayed significantly lower awareness of risk factors of Breast cancer. Conclusion: Among the study respondents, only one third had heard of selfbreast examination and only a few (10%) examined both breasts regularly. Greater awareness of breast health and Breast cancer screening should be imparted to promote breast health among women in Myanmar.
