When examined according to the knowledge of cancer screening done; 83.4% (n = 267) stated that he knew. When these 267 people were asked what cancer screening they were aware of; 77.2% reported that they had breast cancer, 47.2% had colon cancer and 74.9% had been screened for cervical cancer. 39.4% at least once said he had the scan. 63.3% of women aged 40 years and older had mammography, 58.5% of women aged 30 and over had pap-smear, 22% of individuals aged 50 and over had a hidden blood test in the stool, 14%. stated that he had colonoscopy. The mean health perception score calculated based on the health perception scale of the study group was 50.18 ± 9.86.
