2025Open accessAlexandria University

Abstract

Breast cancer is the most common disease among women worldwide, accounting for 25% of cases and nearly 458,000 deaths in 2020. In the Middle East and North Africa, screening methods such as breast self-examination (BSE) are inadequate, despite the significance of early detection. This study aims to evaluate breast cancer awareness, and BSE practices among women in the MENA region.
