Early Signal of Breast Cancer, Beware!
Most women are familiar with mammography as our “gold standard” for detection of breast cancer. However, there are other tools that women can add to their arsenal. One of the most effective tools for the detection of breast cancer is in self-examination (BSE). However, BSE is most effective when women are properly trained in the procedure, then a follow-up annual clinical breast examinations (CBE) by their doctors. In 2000 a University of Toronto study, approximately 20000 women were selected for breast cancer with BSE and annual CBE, and 20000 have been screened by BSE and mammography.
