Question

What does the American Cancer Society (ACS) say about breast self-examination (BSE)? A monthly BSE is optional. If a client has mammography every year, she needs to perform a BSE only every 6 months. To decrease mortality from breast cancer, a BSE should be performed every month. As long as a client has a clinical breast examination every 1 to 3 years, a BSE is recommended only every 6 months.
