dc.description.abstractObjective: Because the belief that biopsy causes spread of the disease, is a widely accepted opinion among the people in our region. The aim of this study is to assess the view of patients diagnosed with cancer about biopsies and evaluate the factors influencing this. Material and Methods: Three hundred and twenty four patients who presented themselves to the Department of Medical Oncology between October 2009 and March 2010, were included in the study. Data were obtained from patient charts and evaluations of questionnaires. Results: Among those patients with low level of education, the number of people who are thinking that biopsy is harmful, was significantly high (p=0.001). The gender of patients thinking that biopsy was harmful was more female (p=0.065). However, significantly elderly patients (76.8%, n=99) aged over 40 years, considered biopsy as harmful compared to those aged less than 40 years (p=0.078). Significant differences were found in biopsy perception of patients based on their economic status (p=0.023). Conclusions: The education level of the patient should be taken into consideration in diagnosing cancer with biopsy and subsequent transition to treatment steps the consciousness level of the patient should be certainly increased as well.en_US
