The "state of art" in the problem of BSE and its role in breast cancer early diagnoses in analysed. Advantages and disadvantages of this method and a complex of socio-psychologic problems arising in healthy population due to its introduction are discussed. The absence of scientifically grounded data on the importance of BSE for early diagnosis of breast cancer suggests the necessity of further investigations in order to identify its efficacy. Such data can be obtained only on the basis of randomized population study with estimation of efficacy by the decrease of breast cancer mortality in population. Under the auspices of the WHO such investigation has been conducted in Leningrad and in Moscow (USSR). Methods or investigation applied are described in short.
本文分析了乳房自我检查（BSE）问题的“现有技术水平”及其在乳腺癌早期诊断中的作用。讨论了该方法的优缺点以及由于引入该方法而在健康人群中出现的一系列社会心理问题。缺乏关于乳房自我检查对乳腺癌早期诊断重要性的科学依据数据，这表明有必要进行进一步调查，以确定其有效性。只有通过对人群进行随机研究，并根据人群中乳腺癌死亡率的降低来评估有效性，才能获得此类数据。在世卫组织的支持下，在列宁格勒和莫斯科（苏联）进行了此类调查。简要介绍了所采用的调查方法。
