ABSTRACT

This study aimed at assessing the perception of academic staff (males) on voluntary mastectomy as a preventive measure for breast cancer. Voluntary mastectomy is considered as an option for women who are at high risk for developing breast cancer. A descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted by administering questionnaires to 77 academic staff (males) of School of Physical Sciences, University of Cape Coast, Ghana.

This study revealed that men’s knowledge on breast cancer in women was high. Seventy nine percent of the population agreed to permit their wives or daughters to undergo voluntary mastectomy if the need arises. No statistically significant association was found between socio-demographic characteristics of respondents and their perception on voluntary mastectomy as the p-value exceeded alpha value (0.05) in each case.

Breast cancer screening and its treatment (mastectomy) are expensive; therefore, government should provide free screening with affordable cost of surgery (mastectomy). Also, policy makers should put into consideration male involvement in women’s health related issues especially preventive treatment such as voluntary mastectomy when formulating law or its re-enforcement. Awareness should be created on the benefits and effectiveness of voluntary mastectomy as a measure for cancer prevention on television, radio and newspapers. Early recognition of women at risk of breast cancer should be ensured and they should be educated on voluntary mastectomy. However, involvement of their husbands or fathers should be ensured.
