(Breast self-examination) BSE was reviewed in terms of effectiveness, accuracy, and acceptability. Evidence on the effectiveness of BSE is inconsistent. Some researches show the effect of BSE for early detection and better prognosis of breast cancer, but others do not. Sensitivity and specificity of BSE has not been determined yet, but they are assumed to be lower than those of the clinical examination and mammography. Education of BSE for women consistently attained an improvement in frequency and skill of BSE practice. BSE may be a useful method for detecting breast cancer at the interval of periodic clinical examination.
（乳房自我检查）从有效性、准确性和可接受性方面对乳房自我检查进行了评估。关于乳房自我检查有效性的证据并不一致。一些研究表明乳房自我检查对乳腺癌的早期发现和更好的预后有效果，但其他研究则不然。乳房自我检查的敏感性和特异性尚未确定，但据推测低于临床检查和乳房X光检查。对女性进行乳房自我检查教育持续提高了乳房自我检查实践的频率和技能。乳房自我检查可能是在定期临床检查间隔期间检测乳腺癌的一种有用方法。
