Breast cancer is the most common cause of cancer death among women worldwide. Incidence rates are high in more developed countries than rates in less developed countries In Egypt, standardized age of cancers are 166.6per 100.000 in both sexes cancer breast represent 32%in females and 15.4%in both sexes of all cancer Mastectomy is an important treatment method in Brest cancer. But, mastectomy has a deep and stable negative impact on a woman because, mastectomy as a treatment option, can result in a sense of mutilation and diminished self-worth and may threaten perceptions of femininity Body image of a woman includes the symbolic meaning and importance of her breasts.
