Early detection of breast cancer through regular breast examinations can lead to early diagnosis and treatment, and better health outcomes. The breast examination involves inspection of the breasts to check for changes in shape, size, skin condition or nipple appearance. Palpation uses specific techniques to feel the breasts and underarms for any lumps or thickened areas. Imaging tests like mammograms, ultrasounds, and MRI scans provide additional information and are recommended based on risks and exam findings.
