Early detection


Observations from Europe and Canada show that the mortality rate for women participating in screening programs has reduced by over 40 percent in industrial nations2.
How to improve your chances
Routine self-examination
- Look at your breasts in the mirror with your arms by your sides and then with arms raised. Look for any skin changes such as dimpling, puckering, redness, changes in your nipples, or any discharge from them.
- Feel your breasts while lying down: Use the opposite hand to examine each breast with two fingertip pads, using small circular motions and covering the entire area of the breast (from outer arm pits to the nipples, across the space in between your breasts, and vertically from your collarbone to below the breasts.
- Feel your breasts while standing up: This is easiest done in the shower especially with a little soap over the area which makes fingers slide over the tissue and lumps easier to feel.
