Abstract
The majority of deaths from cancer can now be avoided by a combination of primary prevention and effective screening programmes.
Most research on the screening and earl treatment of cancer showed that many women are first diagnosed through primary care physicians. Yet, little information exists about the knowledge, practice patterns, and beliefs of family physicians about commonest types of cancers among women and effective screening programmes.
Family physicians care for many cancer patients, but few systematically ask patients about risk factors. Therefore, it is likely that many high-risk patients remain unrecognized and undiagnosed. When cancer is diagnosed, many family physicians experience barriers in referral to specialists.
