22. â« Conclusion
Indian women need to be aware of both modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors for breast cancer to
adopt appropriate practices for prevention. There is an urgent call for more effective nation- and state-wide
cancer literacy programmes, as well as engagements with community-level organisations and the health
system With wide variations in the state-level burden, a coordinated, intensive health promotion intervention
programme on risk factors, prevention, screening and management for breast cancer is prudent. Training
on the latest evidence regarding breast cancer risk factors should be offered to healthcare providers and
community workers to raise their cancer literacy so they can then transmit this knowledge to other sections
of the society. Continuing medical education programmes with enhanced emphasis on breast cancer in the
curricula of nursing at institutional level and other healthcare training institutions should be a priority for
womenâs health in the country.
