Abstract

Introduction: Breast cancer has been emerging as a top cancer killer across the world not only among females but also in males as well. Breast cancer is a threat to women because it affects the perception of sexuality and body image to a degree greater than any other cancer. The present study aimed to assess the level of knowledge and skill regarding prevention of east cancer among the nuns. This is possible only by adherence to BSE regimen by every woman. BSE is a significant step in the continuous struggle against east cancer. BSE is mandatory as it helps women to have ‘east familiarity’. Such familiarity is indeed very essential for the early detection of untoward pathological changes of east cancer.

Methods: A quantitative approach with descriptive design was used. Sixty samples were collected as per inclusion criteria

Results: Samples had average knowledge on prevention of east cancer and majority of samples have poor knowledge on performance of east self examination.

Conclusion: study concluded that nuns were having average knowledge level on prevention of east cancer.
