Thesis (MTech. degree in Nursing)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2010. / Cervical cancer, breast cancer and Kaposi's sarcoma are the three most common cancers in women in sub-Saharan Africa. The health care providers in developing countries regularly encounter women with advanced, incurable cervical cancer. Cervical cancer can however, be prevented, even among women at high risk for the disease, through screening using relatively simple technologies. The purpose of the study was to determine whether the supportive-educative role of the oncology nurse can contribute to the prevention of primary and secondary cervical cancer, breast cancer and Kaposi's sarcoma in women living in Soshanguve, South Africa.
