In Brazil, breast cancer is the second most common neoplasm among women followed by cervical cancer and its early detection is essential for healing. The aim of this study was to examine the practice of breast self-examination and oncocytology among healthcare workers of two Basic Health Units in Londrina-Parana. This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, quantitative study. A questionnaire with 21 objective questions was prepared regarding sociodemographic data and practice of self-examination and oncocytology in which it was applied to 68 healthcare workers throughout September 2010. Whenever it was required, statistical associations were evaluated through the Chi-square test (p ≤ 0.05). The results showed a predominance of married women with 11 to 15 years of education. From those interviewed, 85% knew how to do breast self-examination. Yet, 48.52% of workers rarely performed it and 14.07% never did it. When it comes to oncocytology, 54.41% had had it less than one year before, 27.94% between 1 and 3 years before. Negligence, lack of attention to their health, lack of time and embarrassment were reasons for not to be submitted to the examinations. Since these professionals have an educational and of health promotion function, the suggestion would be to offer training courses and educational campaigns focused on them.
