The results revealed that 30. 8% of respondents performed self-examination once a month. There was a significant correlation between the Knowledge of Breast cancer and adopting preventive practices (P = 0. 02). The level of their attitude was significantly associated with a positive family history of Breast cancer (P= 0. 03).
