In numerous worldwide studies, researchers found no evidence that BSE either helps or harms women who practice it. Many public health agencies and women's health advocacy groups were surprised and disappointed to learn that BSE resulted in no noticeable improvement in the detection of early breast cancer, despite the time and effort spent in encouraging BSE. A possible negative consequence of BSE campaigns is the implied, but erroneous, assumption that the woman is responsible for detecting a problem at an earlier stage.
