Knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding personal care products and their perceived link to breast cancer: a cross-sectional study
This study highlights that future doctors possess limited knowledge about breast cancer, especially concerning environmental risk factors, such as endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in personal care products. While it does not establish a causal relationship, the study underscores significant gaps in the participants' understanding.
