Most Indonesian women have never performed breast cancer early detection, either through self-breast examination (Sadari) or clinical breast examination at a healthcare facility (Sadanis). This is recorded in the Indonesian Health Survey (SKI) report released by the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes).

According to the report, in 2023, 90.3% of female respondents aged 15 and over had never performed Sadari/Sadanis examinations.

Only 3.5% of respondents performed the examination at least once a month, 2.5% more than once a year, and 2.1% at least once every three months.

Furthermore, respondents who checked their breasts at least once every six months and once a year were 0.8% each.

The Kemenkes recommends routine Sadari/Sadanis examinations every month on days 7-10 from the first day of menstruation, or on the same date each month for postmenopausal women.

By performing Sadari/Sadanis regularly, breast cancer can be detected early, and treatment can be started promptly, with a greater than 90% chance of recovery.

"If a woman finds an abnormality during Sadari, she can consult a healthcare facility for Sadanis," as quoted from the official Kemenkes website.
