Abstract: Back ground of the study: Medical advances have shown that one-third of all cancers are preventable and further one third, if diagnosed sufficiently early, is potentially curable. This observation demands that cancer control should be of increasing priority in the healthcare programs of developing countries. One potentially important strategy in reducing breast cancer mortality is the use of screening to achieve earlier detection of cancer. The main methods of screening involve mammography, clinical breast examination (CBE), and breast self-examination (BSE).................
