The attitudes of women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations toward clinical breast examinations and breast self-examinations.

Journal of women's health (2002) - 1 Jul 2009

Spiegel Tirtza N, Hill Kimberley A, Warner Ellen

Abstract excerpt

AIMS: In screening studies of women with BRCA mutations, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plus mammography has >90% sensitivity for detecting breast cancer, with negligible benefit from the addition of breast self-examination (BSE) or clinical breast examination (CBE). Yet CBE is still frequently recommended, and BSE is encouraged for these women. We sought to determine the attitudes of high-risk women toward CBE...
