美国癌症协会 Breast Health Guidelines
The following information was contributed by the 美国癌症协会.
The goal of screening examinations for early breast cancer detection is to find cancers before they start to cause symptoms. Breast cancers that are detected because they cause symptoms tend to be relatively larger and likely to have spread beyond the breast. 与此形成鲜明对比的是, breast cancers found during screening examinations are more likely to be small and still confined to the breast.
The 美国癌症协会 believes the use of mammography, clinical breast examination and breast 自检方法ination offers women the best opportunity for reducing the breast cancer death rate through early detection. This combined approach is clearly better than any one examination. The 美国癌症协会 does not recommend relying solely on any of these methods.
