Early detection offers women the best chance of finding breast cancer early when it is most treatable. Both the ACS and the NCI now recommend mammography and CBE for women ages 40 and older. These organizations also recommend monthly BSE as a positive health practice. Nurses can play an important role in promoting screening by: (a) teaching women about screening guidelines, the benefits and limitations of screening, and risk factors for breast cancer and (b) helping women to reduce or eliminate barriers to screening.
早期检测为女性提供了在乳腺癌最易治疗的早期阶段发现它的最佳机会。美国癌症协会（ACS）和美国国立癌症研究所（NCI）现在都建议40岁及以上的女性进行乳房X光检查和临床乳房检查（CBE）。这些组织还建议每月进行乳房自我检查（BSE），作为一种积极的健康行为。护士可以通过以下方式在促进筛查方面发挥重要作用：（a）向女性传授筛查指南、筛查的益处和局限性以及乳腺癌的风险因素；（b）帮助女性减少或消除筛查障碍。
