Abstract
Breast cancer (BC) is one of the causes of the leading mortality in Saudi Arabia. Previous studies have shown a recent dramatic increase in BC cases in Saudi Arabia. Therefore, the demand is high for measuring the level of awareness among young Saudi females about BC and its causes. This study is designed to assess the awareness level of female pharmacy students in the Faculty of Pharmacy, Umm Al-Qura University, Makkah region, Saudi Arabia about the general information regarding BC, as pharmacists are the health practitioners most accessible to the public. The data in this study were collected using a modified online questionnaire delivered to 217 participants in the Ccollege of Ppharmacy. Our results showed a sufficient awareness level among future female pharmacists, which may help in spreading their knowledge to society.
