The Importance of Clinical Breast Exams
- They help doctors find breast cancer in women too young for mammograms.
- They offer a test for detecting cancers at an earlier stage of progression.
- They can help distinguish between breast cancer and other less-serious breast abnormalities.
The OHSU Knight Cancer Institute Breast Health Education Program makes this possible by training healthcare professionals who care for women in the best method of clinical breast exam, and how to diagnose and manage abnormal conditions of the breast.
