Abstract

The ultimate purpose of breast self-examination is detection and treatment of breast cancer in its early stage. Early identification of breast cancer through breast self examination and diagnosis plays an important role in reducing morbidity from breast cancer. But most women do not perform breast self examination in low income countries because of different reasons such as misperception and lack of knowledge of breast self examination
