Why Perform Breast Self Exam?
Breast self exam is a powerful tool for early detection of breast cancer
and should be performed monthly, say American Cancer Society experts.
"Women should be taught how to perform monthly self exams and should discuss it with
their doctors," says Larissa Nekhlyudov, MD, of Harvard Medical School’s Department
of Ambulatory Care and Prevention.
"The bottom line is that in breast cancer, early detection is better than later detection, and self
examination helps early detection," notes Robert Smith, PhD, Director of Cancer Screening,
American Cancer Society. "Breast self exam is a prudent thing to do; it’s worth the time and effort
to teach and to use.“

and onwards, as learning how their breasts look and feel at different times will help women know
what is normal for them and to recognise any irregular changes.” Breast Awareness, U.K. National

cancer can be diagnosed at an early stage and treated successfully”
