Yet, 2897 women accepted to give answers to the surver questions.Results:The results of surver made was analysed by means of SPSS programme. (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). According to the results of survers, the women are aware that the most remarkable responsibility for examining their bodies belongs to the women themselves. Although the rate of self-breast checking is a high proportion, it has been observed that frequency of consulting a doctor with the aim of early diagnosis of breast cancer takes place at the low rate.Conclusion:Despite the thought that health institutions should be the unique places where you can be informed about early diagnosis of breast cancer, it has been observed as a result of surver analysis that most of women is reluctant to consult the health institutions for having information about.
