> NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Most women are aware of the importance
> of mammograms for early detection of breast cancer, but not all
> realize that a clinical breast exam is also important. Recent
> findings suggest that these physical exams may help detect breast
> cancer early. ``Some US data suggest a decline in the use of clinical
> breast exams concurrent with increasing use of mammography. In
> some European countries, routine breast cancer screening relies
> primarily on mammography,'' explain researchers from the Centers
> for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia, led by
> Dr. Janet Kay Bobo. Yet according to their research findings,
> published in the June 21st issue of the Journal of the National
> Cancer Institute, clinical breast exams (CBEs) may add to the
> effectiveness of early-detection campaigns. The researchers analyzed
> the data from the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection
> Program, in which more than 750,000 low-income women received
> CBEs.
