Abstract
In contrast to some other studies, this study found that married women and those with a negative family history of breast cancer waited longer than others before seeking care. Public education initiatives focused on encouraging women (especially high-risk groups such as older women, married women, and those living in small cities or villages) to see a doctor promptly for evaluation of breast symptoms can decrease delay and improve patient outcome.
