A breast self-exam can help you to be familiar with how your breasts look and feel so you can alert your care provider if there are any changes. However, a breast self-exam is not recommended as the only screening tool for cancer.
Mammograms have been shown to reduce the risks associated with breast cancer, including breast cancer deaths. Having regular mammograms is one of the most important things you can do to identify whether you have breast cancer. When breast cancer is caught early, it is often small or has not spread throughout the body. This makes it easier to treat more successfully.
Having mammograms every year or every two years, depending on your age provides your doctor with an ongoing record of your breasts’ health that can be used for comparison in subsequent years. When this happens, it is useful in spotting abnormalities in tissue that could indicate an early stage of cancer.
