Breast Cancer Screening: Why Can't Everyone Agree?
2019, Primary Care - Clinics in Office PracticeCitation Excerpt :SBEs were previously considered to be an essential component of breast cancer screening. Two randomized control trials (RCTs) evaluated the role of SBE as a breast cancer screening modality: one in China with 267,000 female factory workers28 and one in Russia with more than 193,000 women.29 Both RCTs failed to show a breast cancer mortality benefit due to SBE.
Breast Cancer Screening
2015, Surgical Clinics of North AmericaCitation Excerpt :Breast self-examination is currently not promoted as a primary screening modality. Lack of efficacy is suggested by 2 large randomized prospective trials from Shanghai29,30 and Russia.31 A Cochrane review notes that breast cancer mortality was not reduced in either trial and that the probability of a benign breast biopsy was twice as high in the screened group.32

2014, CollegianCitation Excerpt :Clinical breast examination lead to follow-up for false-positive results (Bobo, Lee, & Thames, 2000). Two large randomized control trials conducted in Russia and China indicated that no significant differences in terms of tumor size, stage at diagnosis and mortality rate between women who were taught and who were not taught to perform BSE (Semiglazov et al., 1993; Thomas et al., 1997, 2002). These were conducted to confirm that mammography should be implemented as a standard while BSE is only an optional method.

2013, Critical Reviews in Oncology/HematologyCitation Excerpt :The Breast Health Global Iniciative (BHGI) recommends the realization of breast health awareness programs, which do not require expensive technology and might play a role in detecting breast cancers at earlier stages. Women should be trained to recognize symptoms of possible breast cancer (teaching them to do a breast-self evaluation-BSE-) and be encouraged to seek care if needed [32]. If possible, clinical breast evaluation (CBE) by trained health professionals is also recommended.
Breast Cancer Screening
2013, Women and HealthThe role of clinical breast examination and breast self-examination
2011, Preventive MedicineCitation Excerpt :This difference could be due to delay in receiving reports on cases or deaths from the control arm, though a transient excess of early deaths from breast cancer in screened women has been noted in some screening trials (Cox, 1997). Two large trials were initiated on BSE, one in China (Thomas et al., 1997) and one in Russia (Semiglazov et al, 1993) but no breast cancer mortality reduction was found in the Chinese trial though the women in the control group tended to present with fairly small tumors. The potential for benefit was reduced since women in their 30s were included, an age group which never has been shown to benefit from screening (Thomas et al, 2002).
