Abstract:
In India, an estimated 178,361 new breast cancer (BC) cases are identified annually and 90,408 succumb to BC each year. Despite India’s national programmes to tackle the growing burden of BC, only 0.44% of women have ever undergone BC screening. The objective of this study was to explore barriers and enablers of BC screening uptake in India, focusing on role of women’s empowerment and health system factors.
