Abstract

Objective: to investigate the knowledge of women assisted in Primary Care about the early detection of breast cancer. Method: a quantitative and cross-sectional study, carried out with 265 women of mammographic screening age. The collection was performed in person with a validated Breast Cancer Awareness Measure instrument. Results: it was found that, in general, there is knowledge about the clinical signs for breast cancer, however there is a lack of knowledge about the recommended age for performing the exam, and there was no consensus on the hereditary factors for breast cancer.The difficulty in scheduling the appointment and the lack of transport were identified as barriers that make it difficult to seek health professionals. Conclusion: it is essential to strengthen actions for the early detection of breast cancer, with the production and dissemination of knowledge and provision of subsidies that guarantee quick and easy access to screening and early diagnosis initiatives.
