BREAST SELF
EXAMINATION
THE BREAST
• It has an important role in
modern culture
• Often viewed as measures of
sexuality , femininity and
attractiveness because it is
visible for its size and shape.
• However, it is a secondary
sex characteristic
• Its physiologic function is
milk secretion to feed infants
Clinical value
a. Experience has
verified that 90% of
breast cancers are
found by women
themselves
b. When women discover
lumps in their breasts
at ea very early stage,
surgery can save 70-
80% of proven cases
Recommendation
1. All women age 20 years and older perform BSE on a monthly basis.
Beginning in their 20’s, women should be told about the benefits
and limitations of breasts self examination. The importance is
prompt reporting of any new breast symptoms to a health
professional should be emphasized.
2. All women ages 29 to 39 should have clinical examinations every 3
years preferably be part of a periodic health examination.
3. All women ages 40 years and older have regular (every 1 to 2 years)
mammograms.
4. Asymptomatic women ages 40 and older should continue to receive
clinical breast examination preferably be part of a periodic health
examination annually.
5. Screening decisions for older women should be individualized by
considering the potential benefits and risk of mammography in the
context of the current health status and estimated expectancy. As
long as woman is in good health and would be candidate for
treatment, she should continue to be screened with
mammography.
Advantages of BSE
Women can use BSE to asses their breasts.
When they perform BSE properly and
regularly, they can not any changes in their
breasts and seek further evaluation.
Examination should be done every month
and at the end of menses in all
menstruating women.
Barrier to BSE
The major barrier to BSE is the lack
of CONFIDENCE
Physical assessment findings in a
healthy adult
A. By inspection
B. By palpation
By inspection the breast should
be:
• Symmetrical, full, rounded,
smooth in all portions, without
dumpling, retractions or masses
• Faint, even vascular pattern and
striae are noted
• Nipples everted, areola even
• Axillae even color, without
masses or rash
In palpation the breast should be:
• Firm and without masses,
lumps, local areas with
warmth, or tenderness
• Nipples should have no
discharges
• Axillae should be smooth and
node are nonpalpable
Assessment interview
Sexual health history
 Are you currently sexually active? With men, women, or both?
 Describe the positive or negative aspects of your sexual functioning
 Do you have difficulty with sexual desire? Arousal? Orgasm? Satisfaction?
 Do you experience any pain with sexual interaction?
 If there are problems, how have they influenced how you feel about yourself?
Have have they affected your partner? How have they affected the
relationship?
 Do you expect your sexual functioning to be altered because of your illness?
 What are your partner’s concern about your future sexual functioning?
 Do you have any other sexual questions or concerns that have not been
addressed?
Assessment interview
Breast History
 Ask the client about breast pain or tenderness and its occurrences in relation to
menstrual cycle.
 Ask whether the woman has had in the past or currently has breast lumps or
masses. If a lump is present, ask the woman to describe its location, onset and
size and whether it is painful
 Determine whether the lump has changed shape, size, consistency, or degree f
redness since it was first noticed
 Ask about nipple discharge, which is abnormal in women who are not
pregnant or lactating. If there is a discharge, determine the color, consistency,
amount and odor.
 Ask whether the woman perform BSE regularly
 Note whether the woman include axillary nodes in BSE.
 Ask for her HISTORY of breast cancer in her blood-related FEMALE
relatives – mother, sisters, maternal grandmother or maternal aunts. It
indicates an increased risk of breast cancer if she has any family history of
breast cancer.
Identifying clients at risk
• Altered body structure or function due to trauma, pregnancy, recent
childbirth, anatomic abnormalities of genitals or disease
• Physical, psychosocial, emotional, or sexual abuse; sexual assault
• Disfiguring conditions, such as burns, skin conditions, birthmarks,
scars (e.g. mastectomy) and ostomies
• Specific medication therapy that causes sexual problems
• Temporary or long term impaired physical ability to perform grooming
and maintain sexual attractiveness
• Value conflicts between personal beliefs and religious doctrines
• Loss of partner
• Lack of knowledge or misinformation about sexual functioning and
expression
SIGNS OF BREAST CANCER
Elevation
Asymmetry
Bleeding
“Orange Peel”
skin
Nipple Retraction
Women are screened for breast
cancer in 3 ways:
1. Mammography – roentgenography of breasts
without injection of contrast meduim. It is most
sensitive.
3 views :
• Craniocaudal
• Mediolateral
• Axillary
Women are screened for breast
cancer in 3 ways:
2. Clinical Breast Examination - clinical breast exam is
an examination by a doctor or nurse, who uses his or
her hands to feel for lumps or other changes
3. Breast self-exam. A breast self-exam is when you
check your own breasts for lumps, changes in size or
shape of the breast, or any other changes in the
breasts or underarm (armpit).
BIOPSY
is a medical test involving the removal of cells or tissues for
examination.
a) Aspiration – a syringe and g 18 needle is used to aspirate
tissue from the site which is under local anesthesia. The
specimen is spread on a glass slide, fixed, stained and sent to
the laboratory
b) Incisional – a piece of tissue is obtained in the operating
room, sent to the laboratory fro frozen section which is the
stained and examined under the microscope.
Classification of Breast Tumors and Preferred Method of
Treatment
Clinical Anatomic
Observation
Treatment
Stage I
Breast Mass Localized; all nodes
negative
Radical mastectomy preferred by surgeons.
Some prefer simple mastectomy plus or without irradiation.
Stage II
Breast Mass Localized; axillary
nodes positive
Radical mastectomy preferred with or without postoperative
irradiation
Stage III
Breast Mass locally extensive;
axillary supraclavicular and
internal mammary nodes positive
Variable depending on extensiveness:
1. Simple mastectomy with radiation
2. Simple mastectomy with excision of large axillary nodes
3. Radiation therapy alone if tumor is fixed to the chest wall
Stage IV
Distant Metastasis
Variable depending upon nature of metastasis, such as bone,
sofe tissue, etc.
1. Radiation therapy to primary lesion or metastasis
2. Hormonal theraphy, hypophysectomy, adrenalectomy
3. Chemotherapy
4. Oophorectomy
STEPS IN BREAST SELF
EXAMINATION
•Inspection before a mirror
•Palpation: Lying Position
•Palpation: Standing or sitting
Inspection before a mirror
• Stand and face a mirror
with your arms relaxed at
your sides or arms resting
on your hips; then turn to
the right and left for a side
view look. (look for any
flattening in the side view
…continuation
• Bend forward from the waist
with arms raised overhead
• Stand straight with arms
raised over the head and
move the arms slowly up and
down at the sides. (look for
free movement of the breasts
over the chest wall)
• Press your arm firmly
together at the chin level
while the elbows are raised
to shoulder level.
Palpation: Lying Position
• Place a pillow under your right shoulder
and place the right hand behind your head.
This position distributes breast tissues more
evenly on the chest.
• Use the finger pads (tips) of the three
middle fingers (held together)on your left
hands to feel the lumps.
• Press the breast tissue against the chest wall
firmly enough to know hoe your breast
fells. A ridge of firm tissue in the lower
curve of each breast is normal.
• Use circular motions systematically all the
way around the breasts as many times as
necessary until the entire breast is covered.
• Bring your arm down to your side and feel
under your armpit, where breast tissues are
also located.
• Repeat the exam on your left breast using
the right finger pads of your right hand.
Palpation: Standing or Sitting
• Repeat the examination of both breasts
while upright with one arm behind your
head. This position makes it easier to
check the upper part of the breast and
toward the armpit.
• Optional: Do the upright BSE in the
shower. Soapy hands glide more easily
over when wet
• Report any changes to your health care
provider
The next slide is a video about
breast awareness and how to
perform BSE

  • 18. STEPS IN BREAST SELF EXAMINATION •Inspection before a mirror •Palpation: Lying Position •Palpation: Standing or sitting
  • 19. Inspection before a mirror • Stand and face a mirror with your arms relaxed at your sides or arms resting on your hips; then turn to the right and left for a side view look. (look for any flattening in the side view
  • 20. …continuation • Bend forward from the waist with arms raised overhead • Stand straight with arms raised over the head and move the arms slowly up and down at the sides. (look for free movement of the breasts over the chest wall) • Press your arm firmly together at the chin level while the elbows are raised to shoulder level.
  • 21. Palpation: Lying Position • Place a pillow under your right shoulder and place the right hand behind your head. This position distributes breast tissues more evenly on the chest. • Use the finger pads (tips) of the three middle fingers (held together)on your left hands to feel the lumps. • Press the breast tissue against the chest wall firmly enough to know hoe your breast fells. A ridge of firm tissue in the lower curve of each breast is normal. • Use circular motions systematically all the way around the breasts as many times as necessary until the entire breast is covered. • Bring your arm down to your side and feel under your armpit, where breast tissues are also located. • Repeat the exam on your left breast using the right finger pads of your right hand.
  • 22. Palpation: Standing or Sitting • Repeat the examination of both breasts while upright with one arm behind your head. This position makes it easier to check the upper part of the breast and toward the armpit. • Optional: Do the upright BSE in the shower. Soapy hands glide more easily over when wet • Report any changes to your health care provider
