乳腺癌是最常见的死亡原因，也是全世界女性中最常被诊断出的癌症。这项研究旨在确定马来西亚女性乳腺癌筛查的流行率，特别是临床乳房检查的患病率，以及乳腺癌发病率的预测因素。在选定的五个地区进行了一项横断面研究，访问了总共1,000户家庭中年龄在20岁至之间的妇女。共有1192名妇女回答了这项调查，其中53.3%的人报告曾做过临床乳房检查。收入和离医院的距离与临床乳房检查显著相关。在制定旨在促进临床乳房检查的干预措施时，应考虑这些因素。特别是，医疗保健提供者应该积极主动地提高马来西亚妇女对临床乳房检查的认识。
Breast cancer is the most common cause of deaths and the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women worldwide. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of breast cancer screening, specifically on clinical breast examination, and the predictors of its uptake among women in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study was carried out in five selected districts whereby women aged between 20 to 64 years old, from a total of 1000 households were interviewed. A total of 1192 women responded to the survey of which 53.3% reported had ever done clinical breast examination. Significant associations with clinical breast examination were noted for income and distance from the hospital. These factors should be considered in developing interventions aimed at promoting clinical breast examination. In particular, healthcare providers should be proactive in raising awareness about clinical breast examination among women in Malaysia.
