Resumen
[Español] El presente estudio investigó el nivel de conocimiento sobre el tamizaje del cáncer de mama en pacientes femeninas que acuden a la consulta de medicina familiar en el Hospital General Regional Dr. Marcelino Vélez Santana. Se empleó un enfoque observacional descriptivo y transversal, de fuente prospectiva y se recopilaron datos mediante encuestas. Con una muestra de 150 pacientes femeninas en edad entre 18 a 65 años, en un periodo de 2 meses. El estudio arrojo el 30.65% tenían edades entre 40-49 años, el 24% habían terminado la primaria, un 40.67% tenía conocimientos básicos sobre los estudios de tamizaje de CA de mama, el 53% se ha realizado alguna vez en su vida el autoexamen de las mamas, el 37.39% se lo realiza de forma correcta, el 55% se ha realizado alguna vez una mamografía, el 30.67% tiene antecedentes de CA de mama, el 47% mostro un nivel de conocimiento medio sobre el tamizaje de CA de mama. Los resultados revelaron que, si bien existe un conocimiento básico generalizado sobre la mamografía y el autoexamen de las mamas como método de diagnóstico, persisten brechas en aspectos clave, como la edad adecuada para la primera mamografía y la ejecución correcta del autoexamen de mama. La educación personalizada, la colaboración interdisciplinaria, el uso de plataformas digitales y la promoción en comunidades se recomiendan para mejorar la conciencia y las prácticas de prevención del cáncer de mama.
