Breast cancer is an important women's health issue in all communities. To detect breast cancer early, all women should practise monthly breast self-examination, have regular clinical breast examinations and attend mammography screening at suggested intervals. Participation in these breast health practices is influenced by a wide variety of factors, including how women define health and health practices, priorities in women's lives and their explanations of the causes of diseases such as cancer.
