OBJECTIVES: Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy worldwide. Our study aims at exploring Hungarian women’s relationship to screening tests with their socio-demographic data, their knowledge on the risk factors responsible for the formation of breast tumors, and the practical application of self-examination of the breast. METHODS: Quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted in 2013. Non-random, accidental sample included persons aged between 23and 65 without a history of breast cancer. 160 self-administered questionnaires were distributed, of which 120 proved to be evaluated. χ-test was performed besides 95% probability (p<0.05).
