Breast Self-Examination Does Not Improve Cancer Survival in China
A large, 10-year study from China found that breast self-examination did not improve survival from breast cancer. A total of 266,064 women participated in the study. The authors hypothesize that in countries where mammography is readily available, breast self-examination may be of benefit, but in developing countries it does not increase breast cancer survival.
