RESULTS: The findings of the study revealed that overall mean knowledge of the female attendants was 43.0 percent. Hence the female attendants of gynaecological cancer patients had inadequate knowledge. The highest aspect wise mean knowledge of female attendants was found to be in the aspect of diagnosis and treatment of cervical cancer of 56.5% as compare to 34.14% knowledge related to signs and symptoms of cervical cancer.
