Knowledge and awareness of breast cancer symptoms, risk factors, and screening barriers among women in Kuwait: a cross-sectional study
While women in Kuwait have moderate awareness of key breast cancer symptoms and risk factors, knowledge gaps and screening barriers persist, particularly regarding lesser-known warning signs and screening apprehension. Public health strategies should prioritise targeted education initiatives, including workplace wellness programs and culturally tailored awareness campaigns, to improve early detection and reduce the breast cancer burden in the region.
