This study was conducted to determine the level of knowledge about breast cancer and health seeking behaviors of breast cancer survivors in Iloilo City, Philippines. The respondents of this investigation were the 43 breast cancer survivors. Based on the findings, breast cancer survivors were knowledgeable about breast cancer and they practiced correct health seeking behaviors. The level of knowledge in the rehabilitative aspect seemed to influence their curative health seeking behavior. The results still highlight the importance of further education to improve the knowledge about breast cancer in the promotive, preventive, and curative aspects as well as the health seeking practices of breast cancer survivors. The lack of generalizability because of the small sample size, underscores the need to investigate in a larger prospective study.
