Evaluation of the results of breast self-examination (BSE) is inconclusive. Studies which address the question of proper method of BSE find that most women do not know how to carry out the procedure correctly. Socio-demographic characteristics most consistently related to BSE practice are age and education. New research on BSE must not only take into account such correlates but also provide some verification of the procedure to determine the importance of BSE in the detection and control of breast cancer.
乳房自我检查(BSE)结果的评估尚无定论。探讨BSE正确方法问题的研究发现,大多数女性不知道如何正确进行该检查。与BSE实施最密切相关的社会人口统计学特征是年龄和教育程度。关于BSE的新研究不仅必须考虑这些相关因素,还必须对该检查方法进行一些验证,以确定BSE在乳腺癌检测和控制中的重要性。
