Abstract
BCa is one of the frequent types of cancer among women in the world. In Kazakhstan BCa accounts for 21.4% of all cancer cases. Early detection and prevention are important, because it is easier to treat cancer at earlier stages and government will not spend a lot of money on treatment of cancer at later stages. There three screening techniques, and we need to understand the beliefs of women towards BCa and BCa screening, in order to make proper adaptation of screening programs. Also, there is a need to identify the level of knowledge about BCa and BSE for the development of educational interventions.
