Abstract
Background: In Saudi Arabia as well as globally, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Early diagnosis can lead to a better prognosis, and mammography screening may be an adequate way to get there. Studies on breast cancer and mammography awareness have been conducted in Saudi Arabia. Objectives: The current study set out to assess Saudi Arabian female patients' knowledge, attitudes, and awareness regarding breast cancer and mammography screening. Methods: A thorough search was carried out in October 2023, mostly using PubMed, in compliance with PRISMA criteria. The search was limited to English-language research that looked at the relationship between mammograms and breast cancer. To guarantee the quality and applicability of the evaluated research, certain inclusion and exclusion criteria were developed. Results: A wide spectrum of research from various Saudi Arabian locations was included in the study, with a major focus on female individuals. A discernible pattern indicated a high proportion of individuals with breast cancer and mammography screening. Our study concludes that Saudi women know very little about breast cancer and mmammography in general. Interventions must be put into place in order to combat this ignorance.
