A breast exam is a non-invasive technique routinely done by physicians and women to identify
abnormalities in breast tissue. Conducting a breast exam on a regular basis is an inexpensive
and simple method to detect cancerous growths in their earliest stages. Early detection is
of key importance when considering the efficacy of treatment options. Women over the age of
35 are highly recommended to examine themselves monthly or bimonthly depending upon sex, age
and other risk factors. In addition to self exams, mammograms should also be routinely done
to increase the probability of early detection.
