Breast cancer incidence and mortality rates are increasing in the Arab world and the involved women are often diagnosed at advanced stages of breast cancer. This literature review explores factors influencing Arab women's breast cancer screening behavior. Searched databases were: Medline, PubMed, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, CINAHL Plus, Google Scholar, Index Medicus for WHO Eastern Mediterranean, and Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention. Breast cancer screening participation rates are low. Screening programs are opportunistic and relatively new to the region. Knowledge amongst women and health care providers, professional recommendation, socio-demographic factors, cultural traditions, beliefs, religious, social support, accessibility and perceived effectiveness of screening influence screening behavior.
阿拉伯世界的乳腺癌发病率和死亡率正在上升，患病女性往往在乳腺癌晚期才被诊断出来。这篇文献综述探讨了影响阿拉伯女性乳腺癌筛查行为的因素。检索的数据库有：医学索引数据库、PubMed、考克兰系统评价数据库、护理学与健康领域数据库、谷歌学术、世界卫生组织东地中海地区医学索引以及《亚太癌症预防杂志》。乳腺癌筛查的参与率较低。筛查项目具有机会性，且在该地区相对较新。女性和医疗保健提供者的知识水平、专业建议、社会人口因素、文化传统、信仰、宗教、社会支持、可及性以及对筛查效果的认知都会影响筛查行为。
