Knowledge: clinical breast exam (CBE), breast self-examination (BSE) and mammography were recommended by 95.3 % (61/64) of  students, 96.9 % (62/64) of medical students and 90.7 % (58/64) of students, respectively. Attitude: the most effective tests to reduce mortality in women aged ≥ 50 years were the Papanicolaou test according to 90.6% (58/64) of students and mammography according to 82.8% (53/64) of students. Practice: 55.0% (35/64) of students had received training in the guidelines and protocols for breast neoplasm and uterine cervical neoplasm screening.Discussion To promote early detection of cervical and breast cancer, knowledge, attitudes and practices must be improved to enhance clinical practices (e.g. Papanicolaou test) and medical student training guidelines or protocols for these two cancers. Overall, with induced demand and support from research communities and institutions seeking to make these improvements, we collaborate to decrease missed opportunities in medical research and Public Health.application/pdfspaUniversidad Nacional de Colombia - Sede Bogotá - Facultad de Medicina - Instituto de Salud Públicahttps://revistas.unal.edu.co/index.php/revsaludpublica/article/view/44487Universidad Nacional de Colombia Revistas electrónicas UN Revista de Salud PúblicaRevista de Salud PúblicaRodriguez Feria, Pablo and Hernández-Florez, Luis Jorge and Rodriguez-Feria, Daniela (2016) Knowledge, attitudes and practices of prevention for cervical cancer and breast cancer among medical students.
