  1. Monthly Breast Self-Examinations (BSE) starting at age 20. Become familiar withh the usual appearance and feel of your breasts so that it is easier to notice changes i the breast from one month to another.

    If you menstruate, the best time to do BSE is 2 or 3 days after your period ends, when your breasts are likely to be tender or swollen. If you no longer menstruate, pick a day such as the first day of the month to remind yourself it is time to do BSE.
  2. Clinical breast exams by a trained medical professional every 2-3 years beginning after age 40.
  3. Mammography screening every year after age 40 (if there is a history of breast cnacer in the family, you may need to get mammogram earlier and more frequently).
