Breast Self-Exam
BSE Essentials
Breast self-examination (BSE) is a technique of methodical self-palpation used by some women to become familiar with the internal and external landscape of their breasts. By regularly performing BSE, it is hoped that any unusual changes that occur in the breast will be detected by the woman between visits to her physician. While it could be a good idea to become familiar with your breasts through self-examination, the clinical research has not shown BSE to be effective in reducing breast cancer mortality.
