ABSTRACT
Data collected by interview of 100 teachers of schools and colleges regarding knowledge and practice of self examination of breast is analysed. Results showed that although the fear of breast cancer is common, the knowledge and practice of self examination was deficient and not regularly followed. A plea is made to publicise this in health education programmes and in media as a measure for early detection of breast cancer.
