Breast cancer mortality has not fallen in 30 years, and a renewed attempt at early diagnosis should be made. A study of women's attitudes to breast cancer and surgery has shown their behaviour to be influenced mainly by unconscious factors, including ego-defences, anxiety and depression. Doctors know that early breast cancer treatment is desirable, but the proportion of women having their breasts examined, or being taught breast self-examination, is small. Further attempts at reducing delay in breast cancer treatment must take into account the unconscious processes affecting behaviour, and individual doctors could play a greater part by the education of women in their surgeries.
乳腺癌死亡率在30年里一直没有下降，应该重新尝试进行早期诊断。一项关于女性对乳腺癌和手术态度的研究表明，她们的行为主要受无意识因素影响，包括自我防御、焦虑和抑郁。医生们知道早期乳腺癌治疗是可取的，但接受乳房检查或接受乳房自我检查指导的女性比例很小。进一步减少乳腺癌治疗延误的尝试必须考虑到影响行为的无意识过程，而且个体医生可以通过在其诊所对女性进行教育发挥更大作用。
