Breast Self Examination The Pillars of Breast Cancer Screening 1. Regular Breast Self-Examination (BSE).

2. Regular Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) by Physician.

3. Regular Mammogram after the age of 40.

4. Reduce your risk of developing Breast Cancer by keeping a healthy weight, eating healthy food, exercise and abstain from smoking.

The Importance of Breast Self-Examination 1. It enables women to detect any changes or lumps that might occur.

2. The earlier the detection of cancer, the better the chance of recovery & cure from cancer.

The 4 Steps for monthly Breast Self-Examination (BSE) Pre-menopausal: choose a day between the 6th -10th day after the start of your monthly period.

Post-Menopausal: choose any day of the last month to perform the above every month.

Pick one motion you will use every time you conduct your BSE, it makes it easier for you to detect any changes in your breast.

Step One | Lying down 1. Place a pillow under your right shoulder 2. Place your right hand behind your head 3. Use the inner pads of the three middle ďŹ ngers of your left hand (See red circle in the diagram) 4. Feel for any changes in your breast, even above and below your collarbone & your armpit area (Like a lump or a hard node or skin thickening) 5. Repeat the same procedure for the left breast

Breast Self Examination Step Two | Stand upright in front of a mirror 1. Place your right hand behind your head 2. Use the three middle ďŹ ngers of your left hand while feeling your right breast 3. Inspect all areas of your breast, chest and collaborate just like you did when lying down (See the red outlined box) 4. Repeat the same procedure for the left breast using your right hand

Step Three| Stand upright in front of a mirror 1. Arms held over your head 2. Check your breast for any change in size, shape & color

Step Four| Stand upright in front of a mirror 1. Arms pressed against the hips and bending forward 2. Check your breasts for puckering, dimpling, rash, nipple discharge or retraction or any other change that does not look and feel normal

Breast Self Examination Regular Clinical Breast Examination (CBE) Done by a healthcare professional as part of the annual health checkup or when you feel something wrong. It should be done every 3 years starting from the age of 20 and it should be done every year after the age of 40.

Regular Mammogram A mammogram can detect the smallest abnormalities and changes in the breast even before being detectable by the women herself or by the doctor.

A mammogram is performed at the age of 40 years and older and repeated every 1-2 years. Earlier screening starting at the age of 30 is advisable if a strong family history of breast or ovarian cancer is present.

Before going to a mammogram appointment 1. Don’t wear perfume, deodorant or powder as it affects the mammogram result.

2. Bring your old mammogram and reports if you have them.

Remember Mammogram screening is the most effective method and has proven to reduce breast cancer mortality (Death) by 20 to 30% in women over 50 years old.
