Breast cancer is a prevalent form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women across the globe. Women can perform breast self-examination at home to detect any abnormalities in the breast early on, making it an affordable, easy, and effective screening technique. In this cohort study, we aimed to assess undergraduates' knowledge and practice of breast self-examination. Between February 2023 and May 2023, we used an online survey tool to collect information and structured the questions to meet our research objectives. Findings indicate that 40% of those recruited were knowledgeable about the procedure, while 60% had minimal or no knowledge. Age did not significantly impact knowledge and practice (p=0.7). Women, especially female students, must be more informed about breast cancer and encouraged to perform breast self-examination regularly. Raising awareness can be achieved through organizing workshops on breast cancer and early detection methods on university campuses, secondary schools, and even in public markets. Pamphlets may also be an effective method for promoting awareness.
