| Core Tip |
Breast cancer is the top cancer in women worldwide. In this study, we used the United Kingdom Cancer Research Breast Cancer Awareness Measure to assess the awareness, perception, knowledge, and screening practice of this cancer among the female population in Hong Kong, China. In general, women with higher education and in age groups 31-45 and 46-60 had better breast cancer awareness and more frequent screening tests. Respondents recalled more breast cancer signs and symptoms were more likely to seek immediate medical help when noticed a change in their breasts, and more likely had tried prevention practice. |
