Why BSE?
Approximately 90% of breast lumps are discovered by women themselves.
NB: Not all breast lumps are cancerous
Large numbers of women with breast cancer are cured if discovered and treated early

Positive family history of breast cancer is recognized as a risk factor
When and what stage do you perform BSE
All women older than 20 years should examine their breast monthly .Before menopause should examine 5-7 days after the completion of menstrual cycle. After menopause, or after removal of the womb or during pregnancy, choose a particular date each month and stick to that.How do you perform BSE?

Part 1: VISUAL EXAMINATION: -
-Performed standing before a mirror.
-Arm by side-Arms overhead and palms pressed together
-Arms on hips and press firmly
What to observe
[1] Change in size, shape or color (redness) of the breast.
[2] Change in position and shape of the nipple e.g. retraction, cracking etc
[3] Scaling or sores around the nipples
[4] Swellings, dimples or enlargement of the pores of the skin.

Part 2: PALPATION:
Performed standing or lying down with pillow under the shoulder of the side (i.e. Right or left) where the breast is to be examined, using the opposite hand. Then follow the pattern as described below;
-Starting from the outer part of the breast, palpate by making small circular movements. You must examine the entire surface including the nipples.
-Continue this way up to the nipples, you palpate with straightened fingers.
-Squeeze each nipple between the thumb and the index finger to eventually observe any nipple discharge.
-Hooked fingers will allow you examine the underarm with the wrist bent.

SCREENING TESTS

X-RAY MAMMOGRAPHYTo find breast cancer early, NCI recommends that:Women in their 40s and older should have mammograms every 1 to 2 years. A mammogram is a picture of the breast made with x-rays.

SONOMAMMOGRAPHY [BREAST ULTRASOUND]
Sonomammography is ultrasound of the breasts. It is used as a complimentary test to mammography in patients with dense breasts [ young patients less than 40 years] or even in patients with breast lumps. It is done quite regularly with X-ray mammography
1. Breast Ultrasound can detect whether a lump is a malignant mass or a benign cyst. While there are a few exceptions, ultrasound can do it while mammography cannot.
2. Ultrasound It is relatively inexpensive and most mammograms must be complemented with ultrasound. As ultrasound is already used for diagnosis, we could skip one step and use it for screening and diagnosis.
3. Sonomammography is painless. Many patients say mammography hurts
4. Sonomammography scans the whole breast. Mammography scans almost all the breast
5. Ultrasound is safer: mechanical waves with very low power and very short exposition time. Mammography uses X-rays whose adverse effects are cumulative
6. Ultrasound works for dense breast. Mammography does not.
7. Modern Ultrasound devices are digital and can use computer-aided detection systems very easily.

DIAGNOSTIC TESTS
Further testing is necessary to confirm whether a lump detected on screening is cancer, as opposed to a benign alternative such as a simple cyst.In a clinical setting, breast cancer is commonly diagnosed using a "triple test" of clinical breast examination (breast examination by a trained medical practitioner), mammography/sonomammography, and fine needle aspiration cytology.Both mammography/sonomammography and clinical breast exam, also used for screening, can indicate an approximate likelihood that a lump is cancer, and may also identify any other lesions.Fine Needle Aspiration and Cytology (FNAC), which may be done in a GP's office using local anaesthetic if required, involves attempting to extract a small portion of fluid from the lump. Clear fluid makes the lump highly unlikely to be cancerous, but bloody fluid may be sent off for inspection under a microscope for cancerous cells. Together, these three tools can be used to diagnose breast cancer with a good degree of accuracy.
Other options for biopsy include core biopsy, where a section of the breast lump is removed, and an excisional biopsy, where the entire lump is removed.

PREVENTION
Regular exercise, weight loss, avoidance of alcohol, stressors, toxic chemicals and environmental pollutants are all helpful measures in the prevention of breast cancer. Dietary inclusion of dried beans, cruciferous vegetables , and whole grains have also proven beneficial. Brazil nuts, rich in the mineral selenium , when combined with natural vitamin E as found in almonds and walnuts are also highly effective in reducing cancer risk.

TREATMENT
The mainstay of breast cancer treatment is surgery when the tumor is localized, with possible adjuvant hormonal therapy (with tamoxifen or an aromatase inhibitor], chemotherapy, and/or radiotherapy.
