The study revealed that few women have good knowledge, attitudes, and practices among BSE. In this study, attitude level is high in comparison to knowledge and practice. However, 94% never practiced at all. It is strongly advised that a focus be placed on improving women's KAP regarding BSE, as well as BSE educational programs in universities and more community service activities such as health campaigns in public places.
