Breast cancer continues to be a significant public health challenge, particularly in lowand middle-income countries where early detection is often lacking. This cross-sectional study looked into the knowledge, attitudes, and practices surrounding breast cancer among 369 young women aged 18 to 29 at Nile University of Nigeria. Data was gathered through a self-administered questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that while awareness of breast cancer was universal (100%), only about half (50.1%) could recognize its symptoms, and nearly half (49.9%) were unaware of the associated risk factors. On a positive note, attitudes towards screening were encouraging, 87.5% acknowledged the importance of early detection, and 90.2% supported the idea of performing monthly breast self-exams (BSE). However, the actual practices were concerning: 39.8% had never done a BSE, and none had undergone clinical breast exams (CBE). Even though 74.5% were aware of early detection methods, only 36.9% had taken part in awareness campaigns. Social media (56.9%) and online platforms (20.3%) emerged asthe main sources of information, indicating a strong opportunity for digital health education. All participants agreed on the necessity for more awareness programs. These findings reveal a disconnect between knowledge and practice, highlighting the need for a comprehensive approach that includes education, community involvement, and digital outreach
