Give yourself a hand against breast cancer Breast self-examination is easy, takes only a few minutes and can be performed in the privacy of your own home. It's an important way you can detect early and highly curable breast cancer. Through monthly breast self- examinations, you will learn how your normal breast tissue feels and will be able to recognize a change if one occurs. In fact, most breast lumps are found by women themselves. Take control of your body and your life. Make breast self-examination a part of your monthly routine. And see your doctor regularly for clinical exams and advice on mammography. For a free pamphlet about breast self-examination, call your local American Cancer Society. We're here to help.
