- Abstract: Breast cancer remains a complex disease and leading cause of cancer-related death in Nigerian women. Recently, the role of nutrition has been highlighted in the etiology of breast cancer. Hence, educational intervention on nutrition-related risk factors related to higher risk of breast cancer is important, particularly in developing countries including Nigeria where the incidence of the disease is prominent and access to adequate health care is limited. In this study, 300 students from Federal University of Oye Ekiti participated in this cross-sectional study. Students' nutrition-related knowledge, attitude, and practice towards breast cancer prevention were assessed with a self-administered questionnaire. The impact of an educational intervention represented by a lecture on Nutrition and Breast Cancer Prevention were delivered to 150 students. In the educational intervention group, the students were educated on breast cancer, incidence in Nigeria, risk factors and the role of healthy nutrition towards breast cancer prevention. The mean age of the participants in the control group and educational intervention group were 21.26±2.68 and 21.35±2.76 years, respectively. After the educational intervention, significant differences were indicated in knowledge (0.04) and attitude (<0.00001). Also, attitudes of the participants towards prevention of breast cancer were positively influenced by nutritional knowledge following the intervention. Education intervention programs positively influenced the participants nutrition-related knowledge and attitude towards breast cancer prevention
