The role of clinical breast examination in cancer screening for women at average risk: A mini review.

Abstract:

:As the debate about the potential benefits and harms of screening mammography continues, it is timely to consider the role of clinical breast examination in screening for women at average risk of breast cancer. This article reviews the results from clinical trials and discusses the varied recommendations around the world. It concludes that the evidence does not support routine clinical breast examination for women participating in screening mammography programs, but there may be a benefit for women not do not have mammographic screening, especially in developing nations where health literacy and 'breast awareness' levels may be lower. This review provides information for clinicians to support women who are making decisions about the increasingly complex issue of breast cancer screening.
