Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the leading causes of death among women in Indonesia and continues to show an increasing incidence rate each year. Breast Self-Examination (SADARI) is a simple yet effective early detection method to identify abnormalities in the breast. The low level of knowledge and awareness among women of reproductive age regarding the importance of SADARI contributes to delayed diagnosis. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of women of reproductive age, particularly Posyandu cadres, through health education on SADARI in Jayaraga Village, Tarogong Kidul Subdistrict, Garut. The counseling was conducted through presentations, interactive discussions, and the distribution of educational leaflets. Evaluation results showed an increase in participants’ understanding of the importance of early breast cancer detection through SADARI. Therefore, this initiative is expected to serve as a sustainable preventive effort to reduce breast cancer incidence in the community.
