Breast Self-Exam (BSE)
Taking a few minutes to do a breast self-exam a minimum of once a month can make a lifetime of difference. Nearly 70% of all breast cancers are found through self-exams and with early detection the 5-year survival rate is 98%. If you find a lump, schedule an appointment with your doctor, but don't panic—8 out of 10 lumps are not cancerous. For additional peace of mind, call your doctor whenever you have concerns.

Monthly breast self-exams should always include visual inspection (with and without a mirror) to note any changes in contour or texture and manual inspection in standing and reclining positions to note any unusual lumps or thicknesses.

2. Manual inspection in standing positions or In the Shower

It's important for women to remember that BSE is not the only test for early detection of breast cancer. Mammography and clinical breast examination by a health professional are more sensitive than BSE for finding small cancers. That is why the ACS(American Cancer Society) recommends a combination of mammography, clinical breast exam (CBE), and breast self-exam as outlined below:
- Women 40 and older should have an annual mammogram, annual CBE by a health professional, and should perform monthly BSE. The CBE should be done close to the scheduled mammogram.
- Women 20 to 39 should have a CBE every three years and should perform monthly BSE.
附:New Chemotherapy Agents Cut Advanced Breast Cancer Mortality in Half from: http://www.breastcancer.org/treatment/chemotherapy/new_research/20081209.jsp Research has made it clear that new ways to treat and diagnosis breast cancer have benefitted women diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer. Women diagnosed with advanced-stage breast cancer also have benefitted from these new technologies, but the benefits haven't been as large. Still, the study reviewed here found that newer chemotherapy medicines and regimens, as well as targeted therapy medicines, are helping women with advanced-stage breast cancer live longer. Scientists looked at the results of 122 clinical studies involving more than 26,000 women. New breast cancer treatments were found to contribute to better prognoses for advanced breast cancer. These new treatments include: 1.Anthracyclines: These chemotherapy medicines are chemically similar to an antibiotic. Anthracyclines damage the genetic material of cancer cells, which makes the cells die. Adriamycin (chemical name: doxorubicin), Ellence (chemical name: epirubicin), and daunorubicin are anthracyclines. 2.Taxanes: These chemotherapy medicines interfere with the way cancer cells divide. Taxol (chemical name: paclitaxel), Taxotere (chemical name: docetaxel), and Abraxane (chemical name: paclitaxel) are taxanes. 3.Targeted therapies: Targeted therapy medicines interfere with specific functions of cancer cells. Herceptin (chemical name: trastuzumab), Tykerb (chemical name: lapatinib), and Avastin (chemical name: bevacizumab) are targeted therapies. Combining these treatments also has contributed to a better overall prognosis for advanced-stage breast cancer. Studies on new treatments offer the promise of a better outlook for women diagnosed with advanced-stage breast cancer. Stay tuned to Breastcancer.org for reports on research that moves that promise closer to reality. 另外一个link from cancerhelp.org.uk: About breast cancer chemotherapy
