The incidence of breast cancer in Asian countries is continuously rising, with breast cancer-causing an increase in mortality among Asian women. The impact of low screening uptake is a matter of concern as in most cases, cancers have been diagnosed in the advanced stages where medical intervention is not curable but only intended to improve the quality of care. Therefore, there has been comprehensive advocacy for early detection and treatment of breast cancer as a strategy to mitigate breast cancer-related morbidity and mortality rates. This paper reviewed existing research on breast cancer screening and the factors that are associated with breast cancer screening among Asian women. The findings from numerous studies conducted in Asian countries provides evidence that the number of factors such as socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge on breast cancer, including its symptoms and risk factors as well as breast cancer screening modalities, beliefs or perceptions and barriers in terms of structural, psychological, cultural and social factors influences women's adherence to the preventive health promotive behaviour -breast cancer screening. These findings direct to the need for well-planned strategies and intervention that are culturally sensitive and specifically tailored to the needs of Asian women to successfully promote and advocate the importance of breast health, early detection of breast cancer and adoption of dynamic routine screening behaviours
